Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or born:
“Doubtless, we are as slow to conceive of Paradise as of Heaven, of a perfect natural as of a perfect spiritual world. We see how past ages have loitered and erred. “Is perhaps our generation free from irrationality and error? Have we perhaps reached now the summit of human wisdom, and need no more to look out for mental or physical improvement?” Undoubtedly, we are never so visionary as to be prepared for what the next hour may bring forth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
