Gertrude Stein Generation Quotations

each generation has something different at which they are all looking.

You are all a lost generation.

Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.

A creator is so completely contemporary that he has the appearance of being ahead of his generation.

That is what you are. That's what you all are...All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.

A creator is not in advance of his generation but he is the first of his contemporaries to be conscious of what is happening to his generation.

One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.
