Generation Quotes
-

Whenever you have a few setbacks, the idea that half as many children are dying now as back in 1990 and so... it was over 12 million a year, now it's less than 6 million a year.

Bill Gates

Human beings are ultimately nothing but carriers-passageways- for genes. They ride us into the ground like racehorses from generation to generation.

The only thing they think about is what is most efficient for them.
Haruki Murakami

Mikhail Khodorkovsky
