Bitterness about your parents’ brokenness will kill you. Be the grace-filled end of generational sin in your family.
Storytelling bridges the generational gaps in ideology.
I strongly believe that at this point in America's history, we need a president that will not just continue basically the policies we have been following in recent years. I think we need a transformational figure. I think we need a president who is a generational change.
If you want change, it has to be generational.
It is a form of generational narcissism to change texts to suit one's own needs.
Maybe its a generational thing, but I never wanted to be the best black dancer in the world. I just wanted to be the best.
My mother certainly loves caviar, but I think that's generational - they grew up thinking it's romantic or sophisticated or something.
Generational poverty, most of us don't know what that means.
I think the generational change is going to be so important for Africa that we really should encourage and push it as much as we can, because some of these younger men and women, who are men and women of their times, and are also connected to the rest of the world, wouldn't even know how to behave in the way some of the old leaders do.
I don't find the wave model very productive, because I think it kind of serves to fan the flames of generational tension, or make it seem like there's more generational tension than there actually is.
One of the basics of a good system of innovation is diversity. In some ways, the stronger the culture (national, institutional, generational, or other), the less likely it is to harbor innovative thinking. Common and deep-seated beliefs, widespread norms, and behavior and performance standards are enemies of new ideas. Any society that prides itself on being harmonious and homogeneous is very unlikely to catalyze idiosyncratic thinking. Suppression of innovation need not be overt. It can be simply a matter of peoples walking around in tacit agreement and full comfort with the status quo.
There's a long-term tradition of white supremacy in this country. [Donald] Trump isn't something entirely new.

I think I'm really part of a whole generational movement in a way. I think a lot of other people since and during this time have gotten interested in writing what we can still call experimental music. It's not commercial music. And it's really a concert music, but a concert music for our time. And wanting to find the audience, because we've discovered the audience is really there. Those became really clear with Einstein on the Beach.
Obama has built his public image around his ability to bridge divisions - racial, ideological or generational. And that was his reputation, even at Harvard Law School, where he was the first black president of the 'Law Review.
I was really a big fan of Loveless. At [the time it came out], I made music that was not too far away from [what they were doing], but we were stuck in Austria. There was no way to get attention from the outside world. Maybe it's a generational thing.
Whatever situation you are in - be it familiar spirit, generational curses or infirmity - be released, in the name of Jesus!
I've just never seen a live event [like Oscar] where the emotional swings - it was just stunning. And it was interesting because, on one hand, "Moonlight" is one of these, like, generational pictures that you wanted to see win. But at the same time, if "La La Land" had won, I completely understood.
There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.
