People 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 WestwoodI just dress like… I’m an old black man. Sorry! Like I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.
Amy WinehouseSwitzerland 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 HemingwayWe 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 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.
John MuirIt’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.
Dan QuayleLondon is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin DisraeliI guess that’s one of the things about growing up in the fifties – it never occurred to me that you wouldn’t be at least as successful as your parents.
Hunter S. ThompsonTo other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Sevier 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 MunroI 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 ChomskyAnyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.
Anthony BourdainEven in the 1950s, President Eisenhower was concerned about what he called a campaign of hatred of the U.S. in the Arab world, because of the perception on the Arab street that it supported harsh and oppressive regimes to take their oil.
Noam ChomskyTo start with, I love New York… It’s a little bit of the whole world… In New York, the whole world comes to you.
Billy GrahamThere were some great clinicians in the 20th century – great men. Freud was a genius; Jung was a genius, Carl Rogers was a genius – there’s a half-dozen psychologists of the 1950s and humanists of the 1960s.
Jordan PetersonMy law school class in the late 1950s numbered over 500. That class included less than 10 women.
Ruth Bader GinsburgThe 1950s and 1960s had been a period of enormous growth, the highest in American history, maybe in economic history.
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 GinsburgMy dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you’ll see you had to be sharp onstage.
Bruno MarsFrom 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 ChomskyTourism 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.
Edmund HillaryMore 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 ChanTourism 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 ModiThe traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.
