Generation Transit

Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or transit:

    An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 12:39.

    We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
