Top Boomer Quotes

Boomer Quotes By Thomm Quackenbush

Maybe I have never had the Christmas I remember, since we never remember the event itself but just the last time we revisited the memory. I have woven together a few dozen scraps (the Sears catalog, my father videoing everything we did, Christmas parties and visits with Santa) and pretended they amount to one perfect, cohesive moment, but I am as guilty as baby-boomers, who dictated unconsciously that all the songs they listened to in 1963 would be the timeless Christmas standards of today. — Thomm Quackenbush

Boomer Quotes By Nigel Hamilton

Packed with fascinating personal perspective and testimony, Michael Takiffs A Complicated Man wholly justifies its title. The book is far more than a kaleidoscopic oral biography of President Bill Clinton. Aspect by aspect, it guides us through the struggles of postmodern America, as the most ambitious baby boomer of his generation seeks to modernize the Democratic Party-and, as in a Greek drama, is fated to be destroyed. Veritably, an all-American saga, with a cast of thousands-favorable and unfavorable. — Nigel Hamilton

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

You made me lose my appetite, Boomer."
"My mom tells me that all the time. Your family must be just like mine! — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

I was handed a tough life lesson at a very early age. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Well, it all depends on how you, you know, perceive the religion angle. I always say to each their own and I'd much rather have a guy that's going to be preaching religion as oppose a guy who's going to be shooting himself in the leg. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Lindsey Graham

Well, the big elephant in the whole system is the baby boomer generation that marches through like a herd of elephants. And we begin to retire in 2008. — Lindsey Graham

Boomer Quotes By Nina Easton

In the fall of 1996, I sat inside weekly strategy meetings of conservative activists as part of research for my book, 'Gang of Five,' chronicling the rise of the baby-boomer Right. — Nina Easton

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

We're not splitting atoms here; we're trying to entertain people. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

Why are there so many people out here?' Boomer asked as we bobbed and weaved roughly forward.
'Christmas shopping.' I explained.
'Already? Isn't it early to returning things?'
I really had no sense of how his mind worked. — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By Julian May

They say nothing!" the little captain raged. "They only putrid gunner, ship engineer. I, Ba-Karkar, must speak for all!"

Ogu kicked him again. "Then ask what kind help Asahel wants, untranslatable epithet male. Or no more untranslatable for you! Never again in putrid boomer prison."

Her husband gave a choked gasp. "Cruel female!"

"No more sex, either," she added. — Julian May

Boomer Quotes By Frederick Exley

Mr. Blue's way of death was fitting. He had been utterly corrupted by America, and I find it proper that his carotid artery should have been severed by flak from a jumbo-sized can of mentholated shave cream. Like James Joyce, who tried to bend and subjugate the ironmongery of the cosmos with words (wasn't it The Word Joyce was after?), Mr. Blue tried to undo the empyrean mysteries with Seedy and his red carpet, with his elevated alligator shoes, with the ardent push-ups he seemed so sure would make him outlast time's ravages, with his touching search for some golden pussy that would yield to his lips the elixir of eternal life. And like Joyce's Leopold Bloom, like Quixote, Mr. Blue had become the perennial mock-epic hero of his country, the salesman, the boomer who believed that at the end of his American sojourn of demeaning doorbell-ringing, of faking and fawning, he would come to the Ultimate Sale, conquer, and soar. — Frederick Exley

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

It's an honor to support such a worthy program. TURF aims to protect the integrity of tailgating and to keep game day family-friendly. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Bill Cosby

In America ... the seven ages of man have become preschooler, Pepsi generation, baby boomer, mid-lifer, empty-nester, senior citizen, and organ donor. — Bill Cosby

Boomer Quotes By Jane Pauley

No baby boomer has a completely original idea, but after 13 years on 'Today' and another 11 on 'Dateline,' almost 30 years total at NBC, I felt the urge to find out what was 'behind the camera.' I had the feeling there was 'something more,' though 'more' might be less. — Jane Pauley

Boomer Quotes By Jeffrey A. White

Placing his snout on the edge of my bed,
Boomer pricks up his ears and widens his smiling eyes
when I turn my head towards him.
I smile at Boomer.
"I guess you want to go for a walk?"
Boomer bobs his head in agreement
and runs around in a circle.

"Okay," I say.
I turn over,
throw off the blankets,
raise my upper body
and swing my legs around and over
the edge of the bed.
I sit on the edge of the bed
with my feet touching the floor
and my hands at my sides,
all holding me up as my upper body
leans over the edge.
I am still half asleep.

I look around to my right for Boomer,
but he is no where to be found.
Boomer went for his last walk
some thirty years ago. — Jeffrey A. White

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Over the years, I've enjoyed working for WFAN and MSG - two sports giants in the industry. There couldn't be a better fit due to the long-standing history both entities have had with NY sports. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Mortimer Zuckerman

For the baby boomer generation, a home is now seen not as the cornerstone of advancement but a ball and chain, restricting their ability and their mobility to move and seek out a job at another location. — Mortimer Zuckerman

Boomer Quotes By Ellen Glasgow

Her life, she knew, was becoming simplified into an unbreakable chain of habits, a series of orderly actions at regular hours. Vaguely, she thought of herself as a happy woman; yet she was aware that this monotony of contentment had no relation to what she had called happiness in her youth. It was better perhaps; it was certainly as good; but it measured all the difference between youth and maturity. — Ellen Glasgow

Boomer Quotes By Yuval Levin

America needs to be careful not to let aging baby boomers define its outlook. We cannot afford to farm out our vision of the future to a retiring generation. We can already see some indications of where that will lead: our political, cultural, and economic conversations today overflow with the language of decay and corrosion, as if our body politic is itself an aging boomer looking back upon his glory days. — Yuval Levin

Boomer Quotes By Peter York

Tabloid discussion of bad children always blames baby-boomer liberals, careerist mothers and fashion-crazed Nathan Barley types who think it's all enormously funny. But the centre-leftish psycho-thinker Oliver James says it's all down to the Thatcher-and-after culture of turbo-capitalism, making people acquisitive and unsatisfied. — Peter York

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

I made 22 million in 14 years ... with taxes, and travel and everything else, it gets blown out the window ... which is why I still need to work. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Playing quarterback ... it's no joke ... The difference here with Johnny Manziel, there's a lot of style and very little substance. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Small businesses no longer need to feel like a deer in the headlights when considering constructing or updating their Web sites. With ClickThings what you see is what you get, unlike some other competitive Web-based Website building tools. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

All I can tell you is I played with Johnny Mitchell. Johnny Mitchell was one of the greatest athletic talents I ever played with, but I could never trust him. When the game was on the line and he was supposed to run an out route at 10 yards, he would run an in route at eight and slide to the outside and scream to me that he was open. But it was how he got open that really made me uncomfortable in trusting him. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

We don't have the plumbing to take care of what needs to be taken care of. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Joe Torre

Boomer is ... Boomer. That pretty much tells you all you need to know — Joe Torre

Boomer Quotes By Bruce Cannon Gibney

Uncle Jim may think kids these days are terrible (Snapchat! Tattoos! Jeans in the office!), but when confronted with the evidence of what actually happened in the Sixties, he might fall refreshingly silent, especially when you explain exactly how many of your tax dollars subsidize his health care. The nonsociopathic wing of the Boomer generation may also find value in seeing the acts of their contemporaries in a different light and be persuaded to stand against a sociopathic agenda that serves them at the expense of their children. — Bruce Cannon Gibney

Boomer Quotes By John Travolta

At fifty you realize that you are no longer a kid. I ignored forty. It was like I was almost at middle age. Maybe it's the baby boomer thing. But undeniably, I am a man. I have to accept [mortality]. — John Travolta

Boomer Quotes By Joyce Swann

As Molly wrapped one of the freshly made flour tortillas around several slices of perfectly cooked steak and piled on guacamole, she began talking. The more she talked, the faster her words came. It was as if she were afraid that someone else would say something or ask her a question. She said that she was working for a firm in Los Angeles that designed sets for television and movies.
"It's different from what you do," she said looking at Boomer. "Sets have to be bigger than life. They have to create an impact. Not boring stuff like the designs for offices."
Elizabeth saw Boomer's eyes flash, but he answered with perfect control, "What's the name of the firm you work for?"
"It's new; it's going through a name change, and they're not sure what name they're going to settle on."
"What movies have they worked on?"
"Oh, a whole bunch. Stuff with Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. Big movies. — Joyce Swann

Boomer Quotes By David Morse

I was stuck as a Boomer type in a lot of people's minds. — David Morse

Boomer Quotes By Christopher Hitchens

There's a big difference, as I'm sure you know, it's a slightly manneristic one, between people of the '60s and people of '68. Being a soixante-huitard - it's so nice to have a French word for it - is very different from just having happened to been a baby boomer in the '60s. — Christopher Hitchens

Boomer Quotes By Courtney Pierce

Why is it that treasures become junk when there's no place to put them? — Courtney Pierce

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

It looks like Animal and Miss piggy had sex," I said. "And this was the spawn."
"My eyes!" Boomer cried. "My eyes! I can't stop seeing it now that you've said it! — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By Virginia Postrel

When Baby Boomer women started choosing hotel-like birthing centers over hospital delivery rooms, hospitals quickly wised up. Now even rural hospitals offer well-designed labor-delivery-recovery suites. — Virginia Postrel

Boomer Quotes By Timothy Hurley

Never run for an elevator. It looks needy. — Timothy Hurley

Boomer Quotes By Courtney Pierce

Treasure quickly became junk when there was no place to put them. — Courtney Pierce

Boomer Quotes By Ian Millar

I remember back in the early '70s, when I had a disastrous Grand Prix, my wife, Lynn, said to me, 'Don't worry, you're going to be a late boomer.' That's what she said to me, and I've always held that thought. — Ian Millar

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

That's not me. I wouldn't [take paternity leave.] Quite frankly, I would have said C-section before the season starts. I need to be at Opening Day. I'm sorry. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

I was dreaming of Craig Carton. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

I showed him the Post-it. "You see They're from Lily."

"Who's Lily?"

"Some girl."

"Ooh... a girl!"

"Boomer, we're not in third grade anymore. You don't say, 'Ooh... a girl!'"

"What? You fucking her?"

"Okay, Boomer, you're right. I liked 'Ooh... a girl!' much more than that.
Let's stick with 'Ooh... a girl! — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By E.M. Denning

I opened my eyes to find a fuzzy face staring into mine. I laughed and scratched Boomer's head. "Your dog is a pervert, he watched the whole thing. — E.M. Denning

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Educate yourself. Understand what you're dealing with. Then figure out how to fight it. Then figure out how to raise money for that fight. It'll help you cope. It'll help your child. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Dave DeBronkart

The baby boomer surge is forcing society to face decisions about costs - and particularly what is valuable. It's senseless for clinicians and governments to bear these choices alone; a sad effect of needless paternalism is that it places a false burden on responsible people. — Dave DeBronkart

Boomer Quotes By Wendell Berry

There is another difference between my grandfather and James B. Duke that may finally be more important than any other, and this was a difference of kinds of pleasure. We may assume that, as a boomer, moving from one chance of wealth to another, James B. Duke wanted only what he did not yet have. If it is true that he was in this way typical of his kind, then his great pleasure was only in prospect, which excludes affection as a motive. My grandfather, on the contrary, and despite his life's persistent theme of hardship, took a great and present delight in the modest good that was at hand: in his place and his affection for it, in its pastures, animals, and crops. — Wendell Berry

Boomer Quotes By Herman Melville

It stayed for a twelvemonth or more; when I gave him an emetic, and he heaved it up in small tacks, d'ye see. No possible way for him to digest that jack-knife, and fully incorporate it into his general bodily system. Yes, Captain Boomer, if you are quick enough about it, and have a mind to pawn one arm for the — Herman Melville

Boomer Quotes By Grace Willows

You play those dimples like an exquisite orchestra, Mr. Boomer. — Grace Willows

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

You can imagine what a dorm room environment is to a CF parent. It's like, oh my God. It's crazy. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Randy Moss is not a leader. He doesn't deserve to be the captain of the Oakland Raiders. He's the one who said he wanted to be traded. He's not happy. His effort is lacking. That's a disgrace to the uniform. I don't care what uniform you have on. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

To my mind ClickThings, and John Underwood are world champion caliber, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to partner with them. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Clinton Boomer

Magic, like Photoshop, can do just about anything ... but you have to learn how to use it. — Clinton Boomer

Boomer Quotes By Herbert Jefferson Jr.

One of Boomer's strong points is that he has a great background in just about everything. — Herbert Jefferson Jr.

Boomer Quotes By Ronald Louis Peterson

The secret to living fully is to find your passion and pursue it. — Ronald Louis Peterson

Boomer Quotes By Nate Holland

My favorite team is the Bengals. In Idaho, we didn't really have a home team. But my parents are from Ohio, and when I was a little kid, my aunts and uncles would send me Boomer Esiason T-shirts and Ickey Woods mini-footballs, so I got hooked on those guys. — Nate Holland

Boomer Quotes By Susan Ranelle Amari

Basically I'm pretty sure my mom thinks a well-thought-out list has the power to make time her personal bitch. — Susan Ranelle Amari

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

When we played against Dan Marino, the best defense was to keep him on the sideline. By keeping him on the sideline, you made him frustrated. You made him anxious. When he came on the field, he felt like he had to score every time. I think that is where Peyton Manning is. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Terry Teachout

I am, as it happens, a baby boomer, but not one who feels any broad-gauge nostalgia for the '60s and '70s. My attitude resembles that of my parents, who were born in the '20s and lived through the Great Depression and World War II. — Terry Teachout

Boomer Quotes By P. J. O'Rourke

You're not a baby boomer if you don't have a visceral recollection of a Kennedy and a King assassination, a Beatles breakup, a U.S. defeat in Vietnam, and a Watergate. — P. J. O'Rourke

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

The support of organizations including the NY Jets, Canon USA, USA Football, and Outback Steakhouse is a great example of how corporate America can make an impact in bettering the communities where employees work and live. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Pat Conroy

Those wishing to be successful in the market can't ignore the boomer numbers, the wealth and spending power they have. — Pat Conroy

Boomer Quotes By Robert Englund

But something about the interesting plot bothered me: one of the major rules that Wes had established on A Nightmare on Elm Street had been broken - Freddy was taken out of the dreams. In Nightmare 2, Freddy would be allowed to manifest outside of the dreamscape. It didn't hurt the quality of the script, but it messed up the continuity. On the plus side, I thought the bisexual-slash-homoerotic subtext was edgy and contemporary, and I appreciated how the plot investigated both the social-class system and the rise of suburban malaise. This may sound pretentious and over-analytical, but I believe that Freddy represented what looked to be a bad future for the post-boomer generation. It's possible that Wes believed the youth of America were about to fall into a pile of shit - virtually all the parents in the Nightmare movies were flawed, so how could these kids turn out safe and sane? - and he might have created Freddy to represent a less-than-bright future. — Robert Englund

Boomer Quotes By Clinton Boomer

Stupid dire warnings of imminent doom.
They always put me in a bad mood. — Clinton Boomer

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

There's always something to talk about. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

Nobody, from that standpoint, is any luckier than I am or will ever be any luckier than I am. It's great. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By John Agno

Truth flows from universal law, not personal views. — John Agno

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

You might not believe it, but there are times when I feel the TV and radio shows demand more of me than those Sunday afternoon games. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Anne Schroeder

I write so that my handful of pebbles, cast daily into still waters, will produce a ripple. — Anne Schroeder

Boomer Quotes By Jeanette Vaughan

Sometimes, the choices we make have devastating consequences — Jeanette Vaughan

Boomer Quotes By George W. Bush

Bill Clinton also benefited from a friendly press corps. With their baby boomer background, more liberal views, and Ivy League lawyer credentials, the Clintons fit the mold of many of the baby boomer reporters. In time, of course, the press would turn on Clinton. In the 1992 campaign, however, it seemed to me that some news outlets allowed their zeal for change to undermine their high standards of journalistic objectivity. (The pattern would later repeat with another exciting candidate promising change, Barack Obama.) — George W. Bush

Boomer Quotes By Clinton Boomer

On the other side of that big-ass mirror, a video camera was watching us. In about ten seconds, it was going to start spitting static at itself, and everything it saw was going to break up into a fuzzy, gray-white wash, rolling up and down, that wouldn't be admissible as evidence on Judge Judy. Those missing frames would last a little less than a quarter of a minute, consolidate themselves back
into a semblance of reality, and then I would theoretically go walking right back out of here.
Between now and that moment, there stretched an infinite ocean of potential
time. Time enough to walk around the world. Time enough to fall in love, get
married on a white beach under purple stars, write a book of poems about
truest passion, have a few good and bloody screaming matches, get divorced in a court of autumn elves and gypsy moths, then set the ink-stained, tear-streaked pages of your text ablaze. — Clinton Boomer

Boomer Quotes By Kirt J. Boyd

You have spoken and we have listened, but no, Ms. Theron,it isn't appropriate for us to ask Nathan to take his shirt off. That isn't what we had in mind when we started asking for input. — Kirt J. Boyd

Boomer Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson

I have tonight begun reading a stupid, shitty book by Kerouac called Big Sur, and I would give a ball to wake up tomorrow on some empty ridge with a herd of beatniks grazing in the clearing about 200 yards below the house. And then to squat with the big boomer and feel it on my shoulder with the smell of grease and powder and, later, a little blood. — Hunter S. Thompson

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

Boomer took bites of all six varieties, contemplating each one and "guring out the order in which he would then eat them. "I like the
brown one and the lighter brown one and the almost-brown one. I'm not so sure about the minty one. But really, I think the lebkuchen spice
one is the best."
"The what?"
"The lebkuchen spice one." He held it up for me. "This one."
"You're making that up. What's a lebkuchen spice? It sounds like a cross between a Keebler elf and a stripper. Hello, my name ees
Lebkuchen Spice, and I vant to show you my cooooookies ... "
"Don't be rude!" Boomer protested. As if the cookie might be offended. — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

And that's why, you know, it's players like Randy Moss that unfortunately put a stain on the entire league. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Ken Wilber

And as for baby-boomer parents cluck-clucking about illegal substances, ah, gimme a break. Still, I think I'll pass on the rave. But more power to 'em, I say. — Ken Wilber

Boomer Quotes By Jon English

I was born in March 1949, a post war baby boomer. — Jon English

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

My goal is for Gunnar to outlive me. That's the way it should be. My dream is for him to be a dad himself one day, so he can find out all the anxiety that kids bring to their dads. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Paul Eenhoorn

There still seems to be a lack of film for the baby boomer generation, if you'd like to call it that. And I think 'Martin Bonner' showed what's possible. Later in life, when you've been working at something for a long time, to actually get some kudos for what you do is wonderful. — Paul Eenhoorn

Boomer Quotes By Kurt Vonnegut

And I apologize to all of you who are the same age as my grandchildren. And many of you reading this are the same age as my grandchildren. They, like you, are being royally shafted and lied to by our Baby Boomer corporations and government. — Kurt Vonnegut

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

As both a local resident and a parent with a CF-afflicted child, I'm thankful for companies like Canon, Chase and Outback who believe that giving back to the community is critical to their role as corporate citizens. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By Boomer Esiason

I have reviewed literally hundreds of dotcoms in my drive to bring Boomer Esiason Foundation onto the Internet, and have selected ClickThings as a partner because of the advanced technology it offers small business, and its understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit of the small business community. — Boomer Esiason

Boomer Quotes By David Mamet

The baby boomer generation, my own, is content, if of the Left, to live out our remaining years upon the work and upon the entitlements created by our parents, and to entail the costs upon our children
to tax industry out of the country, to tax wealth away from its historical role and use as the funder of innovation. — David Mamet

Boomer Quotes By Dan Hill

Much as my Boomer friends will hate me for saying this, Kanye West is the New Dylan. Not only do Kanye's best lyrics match Dylan's prescience, highly inventive word-play and genius for storytelling, his indefatigable cockiness eerily channels Muhammad Ali. — Dan Hill

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? If I wrote "Dear Sofia" or "Dear Boomer" or "Dear Lily's Great-Aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? Of course it would. But the question is: When I wrote "Dear Lily," was that just a version of "Dear Myself"? I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By Jeffrey D. Sachs

The Millennials, as a result, are less likely to be divided or even torn asunder by the culture wars of the boomer generation. They will live naturally with diversity. They will accept a more activist government. They will be more attuned to environmental needs. All this points in the direction of the mindful economy, if the healing strengths of the Millennial generation's tolerance and optimism are mobilized for collective political action. What, — Jeffrey D. Sachs

Boomer Quotes By Rachel Cohn

It is not easy to hurl snowballs while holding on to a plastic bag of groceries, so my first few efforts were subpar, missing their mark. The nine maybe ten nine-maybe-ten-year-olds ridiculed me - if I turned to aim at one, four others outflanked me and shot from the sides and the back. I was, in the parlance of an ancient day, cruising for a bruising, and while a more disdainful teenager would have walked away, and a more aggressive teenager wouls have dropped the bag and kicked some major preteen ass, I kept fighting snowball with snowball, laughing as if Boomer and I were playing a school yard game, flinging my orbs with abandon. — Rachel Cohn

Boomer Quotes By Mitt Romney

I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic Baby Boomer. — Mitt Romney

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

Dash is for sure straight!" Boomer announced. "He has a super-pretty ex-girlfriend named Sofia, who I think he still has a thing for, and also, in seventh grade, there was a game of spin the bottle and it was my turn and I spun and it landed at Dash, but he wouldn't let me kiss him. — David Levithan

Boomer Quotes By David Levithan

You were in Sweden?" Boomer asked. "No," I said. "The trip got called off at the last minute. Because of political the unrest" "In Sweden?" Priya seemed skeptical. "Yeah-isn't it strange how the Times isn't covering it? Half the country's on strike because of that thing the crown prince said about Pippi Longstocking Which means no meatballs for Christmas, if you know what I mean." "That's so sad!" Boomer said. — David Levithan
