Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Coco ChanelI live in a crazy time.
Anne FrankEverything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.
Karl LagerfeldThe stylish kids on the street, they’re the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they’re doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it’s like, why not go directly to the source?
RihannaI think everyone’s inherently snobbish. Things that are very popular are not taken seriously, because the snobbish side of one says, ‚Well, if everyone likes it it can’t be that good.‘ Whereas if only I and a couple of other people like it, then it must be really something special.
Brian EnoI could have been a cult writer if I’d kept writing surrealistic novels. But I wanted to break into the mainstream, so I had to prove that I could write a realistic book.
Haruki MurakamiMy proposal happens to be very mainstream.
Noam ChomskyPop music will never be low brow.
Lady GagaThe most violent show on TV is the six o’clock news.
Mr. TBy 2003, every fool was getting into real estate. The checkout girl at my local supermarket handed me her newly printed real estate agent business card.
Robert KiyosakiI go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.
Matthew McConaugheyI don’t follow politics much.
Vivienne WestwoodFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar WildeThe most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably ‚Doctor Who.‘ What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
Terry PratchettWe live in ugly times.
David ByrneIt is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‚solution‘ to society’s ‚problems.‘
Thomas SowellSeptember 11 shocked many Americans into an awareness that they had better pay much closer attention to what the U.S. government does in the world and how it is perceived. Many issues have been opened for discussion that were not on the agenda before. That’s all to the good.
Noam ChomskyIt’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Jerry SeinfeldThe present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI can’t read the newspaper without crying. I’m easily affected by horrible events, you see.
AuroraIt is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.
Oscar WildeI seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI pay attention to politics and technology.
Nipsey HussleThe U.S. couldn’t even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They’ll be killing each other again in less than a year. I’m sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.
Bill GatesI never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.
Will RogersYou want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!
Joe BidenI truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did – or did not do – to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.
BonoI think politicians really go with the tide.
Jimmy CarterNothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus.
Margaret ThatcherIn words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander PopeWe’re news junkies in my house.
Stephen KingFor 18 years I have resisted talking about current events. I am not going to start now.
George H. W. BushSometimes you have the trends that’s not that cool. You may have certain artists portraying these trends and don’t really have that lifestyle, and then it gives off the wrong thing. And it becomes kinda corny after awhile. It’s really about keeping hip-hop original and pushing away the corniness in it.
Kendrick LamarThe mainstream is always under attack.
Bill GatesI’m not a reality-TV kind of guy. But it’s almost like we’re living in a reality show. Every day in this country, everybody keeps worrying about the deterioration of America, and it’s like a big reality show.
Clint EastwoodSome people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so… I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games.
Haruki MurakamiFashion is made to become unfashionable.
Coco ChanelThe atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.
George OrwellThe great moments of rock ‚n‘ roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.
BonoI try to read as much as I can. I try to read an informative article every day. I try to stay read up on our world issues.
Taylor SwiftEveryone has their style and your style explains a lot about who you are – you feel me? I’ve had style since childhood, so I like to dress how I feel. But maybe I get carried away by some trends.
Bad BunnyIn a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.
Barack ObamaI see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.
William ShakespeareEvery generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
Henry David ThoreauI have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.
Kurt CobainIt’s a very confusing era that we’re in.
Clint EastwoodThe celebrity-chef thing, even at its worst, its most annoying, its silliest, its goofiest, its most egregious and cynical, has been a good thing.
Anthony BourdainAll over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
Noam ChomskyFashion fades, only style remains the same.
Coco ChanelThe tablet is not mainstream. Reading off the screen is not mainstream.
Bill GatesEverything popular is wrong.
Oscar WildeAll impeachments, I guess, are political.
John KennedyWhen I look at public opinion, I’m not far out of the mainstream. I’m in it, in many respects. In some respects, public opinion goes beyond anything I’ve ever said.
Noam ChomskyIn India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI’ve tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I’ll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly PartonI think the whole stigma of ‚black movies‘ is slowly being lost. When you look at movies like ’12 Years A Slave,‘ to ‚The Butler,‘ to ‚The Best Man,‘ to ‚Ride Along,‘ to even ‚Think Like a Man‘ from last year – these movies are just good movies.
Kevin HartThe world is too violent right now.
Jackie ChanPopular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it’s popular, it’s not culture.
Vivienne WestwoodWhen it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.
David BowieThere’s a lot of revisionist history that goes on these days about Iraq.
Joe Biden
