Heinrich Heine - Virgil - Charles Darwin - Sigmund Freud - Lyndon B Johnson - Norman Foster - Franklin Thomas -
The happier and more beautiful generations who are produced through free choice of love and who come to blossom in a religion of joy will smile sorrowfully over us, their poor ancestors who stupidly controlled ourselves instead of enjoying all the pleasures of this beautiful life, and by denying and killing our passions and desires made ourselves into pale ghosts of real men and women. Yes, I say it boldly, our descendants will be more beautiful and happier than we are. Heinrich Heine
Your descendants will gather your fruits. Virgil
Man is descended from a hairy tailed quadruped probably arboreal in his habits. Charles Darwin
The very emphasis of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill makes it certain that we are descended from an endlessly long chain of generations of murderers, whose love of murder was in their blood as it is perhaps also in ours. Sigmund Freud
If the American people don't love me, their descendants will. Lyndon B Johnson
We now think it hilarious that medieval streets were used as open sewers. Equally, our descendants will say: ‘You won’t believe this, but people were once allowed to hurl a couple of tons of dangerous metal around smashing into each other.’ Norman Foster
One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings. Franklin Thomas
