History should be about every generation's will to power.
Cody Wilson
Image
Some argued that the youth of today were poorly educated and insufficiently industrious, but one of them had sought to validate his generation by spending considerable time and effort chiseling an obscene word in the concrete picnic table, and he had spelled it correctly.
Dean Koontz
Image
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.
Thomas Paine
Image
My opinion - nay more, my conviction - is that, in the present state of science, as you rightly say, spontaneous generation is a chimera and it would be impossible for you to contradict me, for my experiments all stand forth to prove that spontaneous generation is a chimera.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Absolute certainty will always elude us. We will always be mired in error. The most each generation can hope for is to reduce the error. . . .
Carl Sagan
Image
A new generation of more educated people started to be active. Then society required freedom, society demanded freedom.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Image
We are the last generation with a real opportunity to save the world.
Laurence Overmire
Image
When I began to read as an adult, I read almost exclusively novelists of a generation back. I did the Russians, then I started getting more up to date. When you become published and become a reviewer, piles of books come along and you are pushed by fashion and what you are commissioned to do.
Hilary Mantel
Image
Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great, you can be that generation
Nelson Mandela
Image
There's a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend - we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It's a little bit dangerous, because you'll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.
Brandi Carlile
Image
China has its own Baby Boom generation. And China's baby boom generation, because of the size of China itself, is the world's largest baby boom generation.
Howard W. French
Image
Every generation is more influenced by technology, which is always changing faster.
Chuck Klosterman
Image
I'd like to think that in a generation or two we'll have politicians whose life experience reflects that of the people who are voting for them.
Billy Bragg
Image
I think as a gay person, there was no way in my generation to not grow up with shame and a sense of being wrong. It was impossible to avoid. Externally, you might make choices that are very public and very open but internally that was a struggle.
Ira Sachs
Image
Take a look around, then, and see that none of the uninitiated are listening. Now by the uninitiated I mean the people who believe in nothing but what they can grasp in their hands, and who will not allow that action or generation or anything invisible can have real existence.
Plato
Image
The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics.
Joseph Lovering
Image
If you look at this generation of selfies and selfies and selfies, it seems a little bit scary. I like to see a driven kid, somebody who wants to come from the ground up.
Kim Basinger
Image
I'm of Neil Young's generation. Neil Young's songs have spoken to what it's like to be at least a white male of his generation over the years. Endlessly, he's sung about the stuff that I really care about. He's put into words the feelings that hit you at different transitional moments in life.
Jonathan Demme
Image
One way or another, the choice will be made by our generation, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come
Lester R. Brown
Image
One wonders whether a generation that demands instant satisfaction of all its needs and instant solution of the world's problems will produce anything of lasting value. Such a generation, even when equipped with the most modern technology, will be essentially primitive it will stand in awe of nature, and submit to the tutelage of medicine men.
Eric Hoffer
Image
If every parent understood the huge educational benefits and intense happiness brought about by reading aloud to their children, and if every parent- and every adult caring for a child-read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in our lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation.
Mem Fox
Image
Over the epitaph of this generation it will say ENTERTAINED TO DEATH.
Paul Washer
Image
The previous generation, such as Alec Stewart and Nasser Hussain, lost to Australia on many occasions.
Andrew Strauss
Image
My big advantage was to have my father accept me as first-generation.
