I'm a member of the 1960s generation. We didn't have any wisdom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.
The '60s was a time of unthinkabilities.
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.
I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your career going into your 50s.
The 1960s were really a life-changing time.
My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.
