Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    “Could it be that those who were reared in the postwar years really were spoiled, as we used to hear? Did a child-centered generation, raised in depression and war, produce a self-centered generation that resents children and parenthood?”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 16:8.
