I think there are nice things about every era. I wish we could just take the nice things.

We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond.

It's a very confusing era that we're in.

While there's life, there's hope.

We live in an age of global expectations. Our hopes have converged in many ways, none more so than in our democratic aspirations.

Where there's life, there's hope.

Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future.

Hope is not a matter of age.

What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
