Sixth Generation

Famous quotes containing the words sixth and/or generation:

    The sixth age shifts
    Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
    With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
    His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
    For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
    Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
    And whistles in his sound.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The greatest significance of the present student generation is that it is through them that the point of view of the subjugated is finally and inexorably being expressed.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
