Generations Quotes

Every generation wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find our generation's clothes and hair suddenly retro.

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

Copy quote

So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair — ew — and cover it up with a backwards cap and we're supposed to swoon? I don't think so.

Courage sometimes skips a generation.

N'oubliez jamais, -
I heard my father say:
Every generation has it's way
A need to disobey.

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What i'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.

Science is a cooperative enterprise, spanning the generations. It's the passing of a torch from teacher, to student, to teacher. A community of minds reaching back to antiquity and forward to the stars.
