"If civilization has risen from the Stone Age, it can rise again from the Wastepaper Age." ― Jacques Barzun Topic(s): Age More From Jacques Barzun "Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions." "Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition." "Except among those whose education has been in the minimalist style, it is understood that hasty moral judgments about the past are a form of injustice." More In Age "The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality."― Shimon Peres "Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art."― Stanislaw Lec "I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good."― Oprah Winfrey
