Town Quotes

I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which is my hometown. In Los Alamos is, for people who don’t know, a nuclear lab that built the atomic bomb. The only reason the town exists is to make nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, and that’s still happening there Picture Quote #1

Part of the reason people abroad resent the United States is something Americans can do very little about: envy. The richest, most powerful country in the world attracts the jealousy of others in much the same way that the richest, most powerful man in a small town attracts the jealousy of others Picture Quote #1

I grew up outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a little town, and went to a regular high school. I was a... very average student in that high school. Then I joined the Navy, and while I was in the Navy, I was in a motorcycle accident and woke up deaf in a hospital Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate Picture Quote #1

Baby, this town rips the bones from our back it’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap. We got to get out while we’re young Picture Quote #1

At town meetings, you can see the shy folks, the ones who have trouble sounding off in public, leaning against the back wall or bending over their knitting. On talk radio, those people are invisible, but they’re there. It’s a mistake to think that the blowhards who call in speak for the nation Picture Quote #1

My dad loved to ‘arrange things’ to take us kids to that scared the crap out of us on Halloween. He’d take us to the old ‘Hermit’s House’ at the edge of town. He’d park the car 100 yards down the street and say, ‘Go back there and get something off the front porch!’ Picture Quote #1

I had to drive to Minneapolis once, and went on a back road just to see the country. But there was nothing to see. It’s just flat and hot, and full of corn and soybeans and hogs. Every once in a while you come across a farm or some dead little town where the liveliest thing is the flies Picture Quote #1

Back in college, I remember shooting stupid videos with my friends. It would be us going around town in capes pretending we were superheroes Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I would always shop for my back-to-school clothes at department stores. I lived in a small town, and department stores were all we had access to Picture Quote #1

There’s an old expression about falling off a horse. You get back on and you ride that bad boy into town Picture Quote #1

The library is every child’s lighthouse. It is every person’s sanctuary. It is every town and county’s fortress in the face of ignorance, intrusion and bad behavior Picture Quote #1

Walking down the street in any town or city in the world and having people look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that’s just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn’t say it was a bad thing. It’s an interesting thing Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to spend the next thirty years writing about bad things happening in the same small town - not least of all because people would begin to wonder why anyone still lives there! Picture Quote #1

I’m a bad dater - I’m just not good at it. It’s so weird dating in this town. It’s like high school. I get a lot of people who have their publicist call my agent to ask, ‘Is she dating anyone?’ Picture Quote #1

I was living in a small town in Indiana working as a telemarketer and a vacuum salesman. I was really bad: the vacuums seemed to always be falling apart. Every time I did a demonstration, I’d say, ‘This is the material the astronauts used on Apollo 13.’ And no sooner had that come out of my mouth, something would malfunction Picture Quote #1

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don’t allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday Picture Quote #1

It’s a small town; everybody eats in the same cafe; everybody gets their hair cut in the same barber shop. That kind of community building, I think, begins to bridge those gaps Picture Quote #1

Every time I show up to do something here it’s considered a comeback. If I came into town and they didn’t call it that, I’d be disappointed Picture Quote #1

My girlfriend’s packed her bags and moved out to another town, she couldn’t stand the boredom when the video broke down Picture Quote #1

I have gone to Niagara-on-the-Lake. You know, Niagara Falls in Canada. It’s this cute little quaint town, and it’s just warm, and everyone is so nice Picture Quote #1

I miss family and friends, and I’d like to get back to work more in Scotland, and do more things like theatre and ‘Red Road.’ But over here you have the beach and the mountains and the climate. A lot of people diss L.A. as being all tinsel town, fake this and fake that, but a place is only as good as the people you know Picture Quote #1

I grew up close to Melbourne, about two hours outside, on Phillip Island. It’s really small; it’s kind of a little summer beach town Picture Quote #1

The son of a Fife mining town sledder of coal-bings, bottle-forager, and picture-house troglodyte, I was decidedly urban and knew little about native fauna, other than the handful of birds I saw on trips to the beach or Sunday walks Picture Quote #1

I spent my first 4 years living in the tiny town of Snug, by the sea near Hobart. Curious about animals, I would pick up ants in our backyard and jellyfish on the beach Picture Quote #1

You would think with me living in Los Angeles I would go to the beach all the time, but we don’t. It’s the same as visiting the Statue of Liberty. If you don’t live in N.Y.C., it’s the first stop on your family vacation, but if you live there, you only go if you have relatives visiting from out of town! Picture Quote #1

I’ve been around the surf culture since I was a kid. I grew up in a beach town in Rhode Island. Then eventually I lived in Dana Point, Calif., a real surf hotbed Picture Quote #1

I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to tour with the Beastie Boys and watched almost every set they played on all those dates. Why not? You do your set and then you get to see the Beasties play? Best deal in town Picture Quote #1

There is something inexpressibly beautiful in the unused day, something beautiful in the fact that it is still untouched, unsoiled; and town and country share alike in this loveliness Picture Quote #1

I lived for a couple of years when I was 9 years old on beautiful Aboriginal sacred land in a town of a thousand people in northwestern Australia. It’s where the Aborigines are still very connected to their culture, the Dreamtime culture. It was really quite a special experience Picture Quote #1
