Famous quotes containing the words custom and/or generation:
“Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
