“You are all a lost generation.” —⁠Gertrude Stein in conversation

“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever.⁠ ⁠… The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose.⁠ ⁠… The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.⁠ ⁠… All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.” —⁠Ecclesiastes
