“A woman's love is quick to turn into a passion for revenge--an obsession that becomes an endless river of blood, flowing on from generation to generation.”

“Whatever the one generation may learn from the other, that which is genuinely human no generation learns from the foregoing...Thus no generation has learned from another to love, no generation begins at any other point than at the beginning, no generation has a shorter task assigned to it than had the previous generation.”

“Revenge generates violence that deepens our wounds, but forgiveness heals them.”

“So that the new generation that will be born can enjoy happiness. To pay the cost we will have to shoulder corpses and cross a river of blood(Riza Hawkeye -- Fullmetal Alchemist)”

“In the human heart one generation of passions follows another; from the ashes of one springs the spark of the next.”

“Earthmen may even rule at Trantor for a generation, but their children will become Trantorians, and in their turn will look down upon the remnant on Earth.”
