Text Quotes
In my generation, except for a few people who’d gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn’t have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn’t go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.  (Generation Quotes) From 1945 to 1991, China was engaged in a series of wars that nearly broke them. This generation has been through hell: the Great Leap Forward, hunger, starvation, near collision with the Russians - the Cultural Revolution gone mad. I have no doubt that this generation wants a peaceful rise.  (Generation Quotes) I just am a clean air freak. I grew up in the woods. I worked in China for a bit and was exposed to all the resources being used and the pollution and felt strongly that for our generation, the biggest economic and societal problem is energy.  (Generation Quotes) Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one’s government is not necessarily to secure freedom.  (Generation Quotes) It is a quirk of American culture that each generation of nonconservatives sees the right-wingers of its own generation as the scary ones, then chooses to remember the right-wingers of the last generation as sort of cuddly.  (Generation Quotes) I think I’m part of a generation of crime writers all of whom woke up independently and recoiled with horror at the fact that we’d chosen this very conservative genre.  (Generation Quotes) I was scared to death because for the comics of my generation, HBO specials are like the pinnacle. I’m thinking of all these unbelievable comedians I’ve seen on HBO: Chris Rock, George Carlin, Damon Wayans, Richard Pryor and Billy Crystal. I started having a panic attack seeing my name in that list of people. It was pretty overwhelming.  (Generation Quotes) I honestly think that with our generation - Alex Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Christian Cota, Robert Geller - there’s a different expectation of what our behavior should be. People expect designers to be good businesspeople and PR people, and I don’t think partying is a part of that persona the way it used to be.  (Generation Quotes) I’m actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend.  (Generation Quotes) Music’s cyclical. There’s always that next generation that always comes along.  (Generation Quotes) Vietnam was the defining event for my generation. It spilled over into all facets of American life - into music, into the pulpits, in churches of our country. It spilled over into the city streets, police forces. And even if you were born late in the generation, Vietnam was still part of your childhood.  (Generation Quotes) There’s a generation of people I think without a strong connection to family, to religion, to civic duty. They have a real disassociation from the problems of the world.  (Generation Quotes) Justice needs money; it always has . . . whether for abolition of slavery and early women’s rights movements or the civil rights and environmental drives of our generation.  (Generation Quotes) In a novel, I think you have a contract with the reader to make the character representative - of a moment in history, a social class... for instance, I wanted to make the boy in ‘A Boy’s Own Story’ more like other gay men of my generation in their youth and not like me.  (Generation Quotes) Through first-class education, a generation marches down the long uncertain road of the future with confidence.  (Generation Quotes) It would have been more obvious to go into film, based on the generation before me, but the generation before them were all composers or classical musicians.  (Generation Quotes) David Petraeus, the best known American general of his generation. After commanding the American war effort in both Iraq and Afghanistan, he was serving as CIA director when he stepped down suddenly following revelations that he`d had an extramarital affair. That same investigation that turned up evidence of the affair also eventually turned up evidence that General. Petraeus had passed classified information to his mistress.  (Generation Quotes) By looking at climate change as a clean energy generation problem, we’re setting ourselves up not to solve it.  (Generation Quotes) What I love about believing in a living God is that I believe God is constantly revealing God’s self to us over time, and with each succeeding generation, we come a little closer to understanding the mind of God.  (Generation Quotes) Scanadu is right at the heart of the next generation of computing, which combines mobility, sensors, cloud and big data. I am bullish on Scanadu and its potential to revolutionize the way we think about our health.  (Generation Quotes) 1904 was the year the American Food and Drug people took the cocaine out of Coca-Cola, which gave us an alcoholic and death oriented generation of Yanks ideally equipped to fight WW II.  (Generation Quotes) The question we all face is what sort of culture we will live in for the rest of our lives and then hand on to the next generation - one that embraces these most basic of values, or one that collapses because of their absence.  (Generation Quotes) The first arrival of earthly life on another celestial body ranks as an epochal event not only for our generation, but in the history of our planet. Neil Armstrong was at the cusp of the Apollo programme. This was a collective technological effort of epic scale, but his is the one name sure to be remembered centuries hence.  (Generation Quotes) America thrived in the 20th century because we made high school free. We sent a generation to college. We cultivated the most educated workforce in the world.  (Generation Quotes) College gives people learning and also takes away future opportunities by loading the next generation down with debt.  (Generation Quotes) My mother is a first generation American. Her father worked in the Roebling Steel Mill in Trenton, New Jersey.And yet my mother became the first person in her family to get a college degree.  (Generation Quotes) The generation I grew up in was the beginning of stand up for yourself, whether being a singer-songwriter or a feminist. In my college years, the feminist movement was really coming to fore, so we wouldn’t have put up with guys treating us less than equal.  (Generation Quotes) Every generation in America has faced the same question, do we we want America to be special? Or do we just want America to be another country? The time has come again.  (Generation Quotes) No country’s policies are eternal; they do vary. People are growing old, and a new generation is coming to power. In a year’s time, a government can look different. You can’t influence them if you don’t talk to them.  (Generation Quotes) It’s a dream of mine. I worked very, very hard for many years. But the reality is, it’s slow coming ... I think we’re still a generation away from that.  (Generation Quotes)
