"We are the middle children of History,
coming of age at the crossroads of civilization, a generation rising between an old world dying and a new world being born. We are the "make-it or break-it" generation, the "all-or-nothing" generation, the crucible through which civilization must pass or crash."

​​- Joshua Gorman
