Quote by Ursula K. LeGuin
The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.
Summary
This quote suggests that those who benefit from a revolution often fail to appreciate the efforts and sacrifices made by the preceding generation. The revolution, however, should be thankful for their lack of gratitude because it implies progress and a departure from the burden of the past. It implies that the revolutionary struggle lays the groundwork for the next generation’s entitlement and ultimately the cycle of change.
