Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or insight:
“Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
