Alec Waugh
You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person.
|
Anita Loos
Nobody can tell about this California climate. One minute its hot and the next minute its cold, so a person never knows what to hock.

California's a wonderful place to live - if you happen to be an orange.

Author Unknown
They turned the country up on its side, and everything loose fell into California.
|
D.H. Lawrence
California is a queer place - in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific.... It's sort of crazy-sensible. Just the moment: hardly as far ahead as carpe diem.
|
E.B. White
New York is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village - the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying the way is up!
|
Henry Miller
New York has a trip-hammer vitality which drives you insane with restlessness if you have no inner stabilizer.
|
Hinton R. Helper
California can and does furnish the best bad things that are obtainable in America.
|
J.B. Priestley
California, that advance post of our civilization, with its huge aircraft factories, TV and film studios, automobile way of life... its flavourless cosmopolitanism, its charlatan philosophies and religions, its lack of anything old and well-tried rooted in tradition and character.

James Agate
I... wonder what it is in the New York air that enables me to sit up till all hours of the night in an atmosphere which in London would make a horse dizzy, but here merely clears the brain.

John Steinbeck
It isn't like the rest of the country - it is like a nation itself - more tolerant than the rest in a curious way. Littleness gets swallowed up here. All the viciousness that makes other cities vicious is sucked up and absorbed in New York.

Katherine Mansfield
How hard it is to escape from places. However carefully one goes they hold you - you leave little bits of yourself fluttering on the fences - like rags and shreds of your very life.
|
Michael Ventre, L.A. Daily News
I think my favorite sport in the Olympics is the one in which you make your way through the snow, you stop, you shoot a gun, and then you continue on. In most of the world, it is known as the biathlon, except in New York City, where it is known as winter.

Neil Simon
When its 100 degrees in New York, it's 72 in Los Angeles. When its 30 degrees in New York, in Los Angeles it's still 72. However, there are 6 million interesting people in New York, and 72 in Los Angeles.

Phil Ochs
The final story, the final chapter of western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles.
|
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some places speak distinctly. Certain dank gardens cry aloud for a murder; certain old houses demand to be haunted; certain coasts are set apart for shipwrecks.
