Gilbert K. ChestertonAnyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.

Jordan PetersonFrom the late 1940s, into and through the ’50s, there developed a complex interaction between federal government, state and local government, real-estate interests, commercial interests and court decisions, which had the effect of undermining the mass transit system across the country.
Noam ChomskyI have trouble reading modern Hebrew. In the 1950s, I could read anything. I don’t know how much experience you’ve had with contemporary Hebrew. It’s quite difficult.
Noam ChomskyIn the ’50s, too many women, even though they were very smart, they tried to make the man feel that he was brainier. It was a sad thing.
Ruth Bader GinsburgSwitzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
Ernest HemingwayTourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns something, and tea seller also earns something.
Narendra ModiMy law school class in the late 1950s numbered over 500. That class included less than 10 women.
Ruth Bader GinsburgLondon is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin DisraeliMore understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.
Jackie ChanWe moved into the back, made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing, these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.
Vivienne WestwoodTourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they’re not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.

Billy GrahamTo other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.

Noam ChomskySevier County is a great area.
Dolly PartonWilliam Maxwell’s my favorite North American writer, I think. And an Irish writer who used to write for ‚The New Yorker‘ called Maeve Brennan, and Mary Lavin, another Irish writer. There were a lot of writers that I found in ‚The New Yorker‘ in the Fifties who wrote about the same type of material I did – about emotions and places.
Alice MunroPeople from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!
Richard BransonHowever, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.
Vivienne WestwoodA queer fellow and a jolly fellow is the grasshopper. Up the mountains he comes on excursions, how high I don’t know, but at least as far and high as Yosemite tourists.
