Albert Einstein
“Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
“When future generations take our measure, let them say we understood that we are all of us in this together. Let them say that we stood for opportunity for all, not just those who were born into it. Let them say we stood for fairness for all, not just those with the power to command it. Let them say that New Yorkers in 2005 determined to build a community where we all take care of each other, not one where all people do is take care of themselves. ... That`s the New York I believe in. That`s the New York I want to live in. That`s the New York we can build together.”
Fernando Ferrer
“Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.”
