Generation Quotes
-
Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits.
Ninette de Valois
-
Our generation, like the one before us, must choose. Without the threat of the Cold War, without the pain of economic ruin, without the fresh memory of World War II's slaughter, it is tempting to pursue our private agendas -- to simply sit back and let history unfold. We must resist the temptation.
Bill Clinton

The problem is, we have a generation that can't focus.
Caroline Adams Miller

The view after seventy is breathtaking. What is lacking is someone, anyone, of the older generation to whom you can turn when you want to satisfy your curiosity about some detail of the landscape of the past. There is no longer any older generation. You have become it, while your mind was mostly on other matters
William Maxwell

Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones - and, like, Twitter - constantly, which I have no problem with. I'd say we're not describing the children of America or anything like that, but there is something to take from it: It is kind of sad how we can't go thirty minutes without checking our phone.
Israel Broussard
-
My entire generation has grown up in the shadow of one movie: Star Wars.
Harry Knowles
