My generation had the best years. We missed the Second World War and caught the outburst of rock 'n' roll.

I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.

I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.

We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.

The U.N. system, born after the Second World War, collapsed. It's worthless.

In Finland, we learned quite a lot from our own civil war. The wounds were visible when I was a boy, but my generation went into the Second World War and it united the Finnish nation, so I do not see any more wounds.
