Text Quotes
Libraries have a PR problem - or at least that’s what they call it when no one under the age of 40 walks through the door. To bring in a younger crowd, the paper pushers have turned to tech to bring in the public. DVDs, CDs and, yes, even videogames are hitting the shelves of your local library. (Local Quotes)
I grew up, really, in the days before air conditioning. So I can remember what it was like to be really hot, for instance, and I can remember what it was like when your barber shop and your local stores weren’t air conditioned, so it was hot when you went in them and they propped the doors open. (Local Quotes)
I had a radio show at the local college and I got kicked off the air and banished forever for playing music from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Alice Cooper, and David Bowie because (quote-unquote) They were gay. So, things have changed quite a bit. (Local Quotes)
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish. (Local Quotes)
I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don’t think I’d have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church’s choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice. (Local Quotes)
Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism. (Local Quotes)
My mom was always active. She was always an active voter, whether it was local, state, or federal elections. My mom would take us to polling locations when we were kids. (Local Quotes)
My husband, Andrew Shue, is the co-founder of Do Something, and we both speak and present at awards ceremonies. It’s absolutely amazing and humbling to see all the work so many young people are contributing to better their communities on both a local and global front. (Local Quotes)
The hometown economic elite - rich local families or individuals whom people used to praise or revile, read about in the society pages, and gossip about incessantly - disappeared from most American cities decades ago. (Local Quotes)
Southeast Asia is an area in which there is a form of Islam which is both devout and progressive, and therefore to be supported. It’s an area in which I see a congruence of American interests and local interests: to have tolerant societies and become more prosperous. (Local Quotes)
Eating local is a relatively new concept in American dining; for the Italians, it’s a way of life. (Local Quotes)
In ancient China, self-government was highly developed both in community life and in personal life. The custom of mutual protection and assistance was widespread. The organization and regulations of local self-government were clearly defined and strictly applied. Individual self-control was even more strongly emphasized. (Local Quotes)
My wife and I started a program called Bears Without Borders. We raise money and hire local artisans to make stuffed animals and distribute them in their communities. (Local Quotes)
On the intimate level, anyone who has loved a companion animal knows the uniquely wonderful experience these ‘other nations’ provide, and their important presence in our shared lives. In their very local way they show us the global truth of our real wealth, our biodiversity. (Local Quotes)
When I auditioned for ‘Animal House,’ I had only done some plays at a local dinner theater in Virginia. (Local Quotes)
Each year, I pick something new to learn. One year, it was learning how to knit, and I got ‘The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club’ out of the experience. Another year, it was to volunteer at the local domestic abuse shelter, and I ended up volunteering there for three years. (Local Quotes)
My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that’s because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism. (Local Quotes)
Choose to patronise your local farmers; as eaters, you need to demand a different type of food. Appreciate the pigginess of the pig. (Local Quotes)
I came out of high school, where my heroes were, like, Michael Jordan and a lot of local rugby players - and on the movie front, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. (Local Quotes)
We are stronger as a group than an individual. Think in a cooperative and communal way, set up local food hubs and create growing communities. (Local Quotes)
Nationally, more than one million Asian American entrepreneurs create jobs in their communities, helping fuel local commerce. In New York, we have seen firsthand how this community has helped drive our economy forward through hard work and ingenuity. (Local Quotes)
I don’t need to be asking for money for local museums and other projects just to make me look good back home. (Local Quotes)
Just ask the local people for the best food. Don’t rely on a guidebook. (Local Quotes)
Be an advocate for your loved ones in the hospital. Ask tough questions of your local hospital and health system about preparedness for the likeliest emergencies, and express your views on how medical resources should be allocated in case they ever fall short. (Local Quotes)
My mother attended the local church, Saint Nicolas, and consequently, I attended that church and its Sunday School. My only prizes from the Sunday School were ‘for attendance,’ so I presume my atheism, which developed when I left home to attend university, although latent, was discernible. (Local Quotes)
I think, often with Australian films, if an Australian film has been given the seal of approval by an offshore festival or an offshore release, then it does mean a lot to a local audience. (Local Quotes)
In New York, the average total state and local tax burden is $5,260 for every man, woman and child. That’s by far the highest in the country. (Local Quotes)
I was still an avid reader of Mills and Boon romances - on publication day, I used to rush out of work to get to the local book store to grab my favourites before they all disappeared. (Local Quotes)
When I was a child, I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with The Spice Girls. I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace - when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall - and a Union Jack dress. (Local Quotes)
I regret that after 30 years of writing columns in this market, including ten with this newspaper that I love very much, this local conversation has come to an end. However, I believe that if the newspapers of the country pool their resources, we can send an Arnold-Schwartzenegger-style robot back in time to kill the inventor of the Internet, and then our future will be much brighter.
