Famous quotes containing the words laurel and/or generation:
“No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
“Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
