Current Generation

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or generation:

“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

“Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
