“I remember as a ranger the first time I stood alone on Inspiration Point over at Canyon Station looking out over this beautiful land. I thought to myself how lucky I was that my parents' and grandparents' generation had the vision and the determination to save it for us. Now it is our turn to make our own gift outright to those who will come after us, 15 years, 40 years, 100 years from now. I want to be as faithful to my grandchildren's generation as Old Faithful has been to ours.

“The Web is cool, but the library is magic. Where else can the spirit of generations of writers stir your soul? So many writers talk about libraries setting them on their magical paths, it's almost a groaner. But we know it's true. Wander through the stacks and you can feel the dreams, the unique worlds bubbling within each volume. The magic enters you as if by osmosis. On the Web, you may feel clever, lucky and driven to download--but rarely inspired to dream and to write.” IfsKnowsWorldFeelsWritingMaySoulDreamSpiritPathGenerationsMagicLuckyUniqueInspiredLibraryDrivenCleverSettingSettingsWanderYour SoulVolumeDownloadsOsmosis Author:Arthur Plotnik

“Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say 'We have access to that, but we're going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we're going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.'” PeopleWayDoneCareSpeakFeltStuffGenerationsFeminismInternetLuckyMy FriendsFeministAccessSmarterFiltersSo Lucky Author:Kathleen Hanna

“Opening for Louis C.K. during his "Hilarious" tour was a great experience for me. He is the generation just ahead of me, because he started so young. So it's like he's sort of a senior and I'm a junior, in terms of the business. He's done so much - from writing on Conan and Chris Rock to writing and directing movies, having his own HBO show, "Lucky Louie," and now having "Louie" on FX.” WritingDoneShowsYoungTermGenerationsRocksLuckyOpeningSeniorJuniorsGreat ExperiencesHboConanDirecting Movies Author:Ted Alexandro
