Jean-Michel Jarre Quotes

Go back to Simi Valley, you skunks! Go back to Woodland Hills! Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die.

As long as cantankerous old people have existed, they have complained that kids nowadays don't seem to know anything.
