“America’s post-Crisis answers will be as organically interconnected as today’s pre-Crisis questions seem hopelessly tangled. By the 2020s, America could become a society that is good, by today’s standards, and also one that works.”
“Thus might the next Fourth Turning end in apocalypse — or glory The nation could be ruined, its democracy destroyed, and millions of people scattered or killed. Or America could enter a new golden age, triumphantly applying shared values to improve the human condition. The rhythms of history do not reveal the outcome of the coming Crisis; all they suggest is the timing and dimension. We cannot stop the seasons of history, but we can prepare for them.” p 7
“The next Crisis era will most likely extend roughly from the middle Oh-Ohs to the middle 2020s.” p 51
“put the highest danger of great power war sometime around the decade of the 2020s.” p 51
“If the Crisis catalyst comes on schedule, around the year 2005, then the climax will be due around 2020, the resolution around 2026.” p 299
“By the mid-2020s, the generational archetypes will be ready for something new The Fourth Turning will be ready to expire when old Prophets weaken, Nomads tire of public urgency, and Heroes feel hubris.” p 301
“Every schoolchild will know what happened next, from the Oh-Ohs to the 2020s, as the Fourth Turning unfolded—but academics will surely debate how and why it came to pass. In his history, this great-great-grandson of today’s baby girl will reflect on what the Fourth Turning came to mean for his own time and generation. His history is not yet written. What will it be?” p 334 (the last 3 sentences of the book.)
