Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or hope:
“We were that generation called “silent,” but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the period’s official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was man’s fate.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
“God has bestowed two gifts on man: hope and ignorance. Ignorance is the better of the two.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
