Traditional marriage between a man and a woman has been a cornerstone of our society for generations. If we are going to change that it ought to be done by the will of the people.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

Mrs. Parks' act of brave defiance rocked the foundation of American society and inspired generations of civil rights leaders and created a sense of hope for every American facing legal discrimination in this country.

Moreover from reforming the tax code to our immigration system to commonsense legal reform President Bush put America on notice that he will continue fighting to make the country and the world a better place for future generations.

In the transmission of human culture people always attempt to replicate to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning not DNA.

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

The biggest novelty of 2013 will be new leadership in China. Very little is known about the views of the new leaders - who will rule the country for ten years.

The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.

We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon.

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news to information to knowledge to entertainment. How is it bad?

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

I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

We have three generations at home including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.

Most of us in the baby-boom generation were raised by full-time mothers. Even as recently as 14 years ago 6 out of 10 mothers with babies were staying at home. Today that is totally reversed. Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.
