“It has been said already, but bears repeating: no blanket statement can sum up an entire group of people. No book, no chapter, no study, no research report can attempt to do that either. Instead, Understanding Y attempts to start a conversation - one that we hope will delve a little deeper and dispel some commonly held assumptions about Generation Y, a conversation that we hope is the first of many.”

“Ja nisam više željan da me ko voli, nego da svi zavole lišće.”

Author:Miloš Crnjanski

“S jeseni, kad počnu vetrovi, lišće divljeg kestena pada strmoglavce, s peteljkom naniže. Onda se čuje zvuk: kao da je ptica udarila kljunom o zemlju. A divlji kesten pada i bez najmanjeg vetra, sam od sebe, kao što padaju zvezde - vrtoglavo. Onda udari o tle s tupim krikom. Ne rađa se kao ptica iz jajeta, postepeno, nego se odjednom rasprsne dlakava ljuštura, iznutra beličastoplava, a iz nije iskaču vragolasti, tamni melezi, zacakljenih obraza, kao jagodice nasmejanog crnca. U nekoj se mahuni nalaze blizanci; ipak bi ih ljudi mogli razlikovati: jedan ima na čelu belegu, kao konj. Majka će, dakle, uvek moći da ih da ga prepozna - po zvezdi na čelu.”
