Too many Californians are struggling to make ends meet, pay the bills, and send their kids to college. They are looking for progressive leaders in Washington who will fight for them, like Senator Boxer has done for over 20 years. ~ Antonio Villaraigosa
Californians quotes by Antonio Villaraigosa
She looked down a slope, needing to squint for the sunlight, onto a vast sprawl of houses which had grown up all together, like a well-tended crop, from the dull brown earth; and she thought of the time she'd opened a transistor radio to replace a battery and seen her first printed circuit. The ordered swirl of houses and streets, from this high angle, sprang at her now with the same unexpected, astonishing clarity as the circuit card had. Though she knew even less about radios than about Southern Californians, there were to both outward patterns a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to communicate. There'd seemed no limit to what the printed circuit could have told her (if she had tried to find out); so in her first minute of San Narciso, a revelation also trembled just past the threshold of her understanding. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Californians quotes by Thomas Pynchon
Disneyland is such a big thing to Californians, I discovered that when you cross the border you have to raise your right hand and take an oath that you believe in Walt Disney. ~ Jack Paar
Californians quotes by Jack Paar
We Californians can watch the Weather Channel for images of winter's brutality unleashed upon our fellow Americans and thank our lucky stars we don't have to contend with it. ~ Henry Rollins
Californians quotes by Henry Rollins
Pension reform can be hard to talk about. In the long run, reform now means fewer demands for layoffs and less draconian measures in the future. It's in the best interest of all Californians to fix this system now. ~ Jerry Brown
Californians quotes by Jerry Brown
Sorry I'm late. I had to drag some Californians out of a snowbank. ~ Cynthia Hand
Californians quotes by Cynthia Hand
By habitus, I mean dispositions that inhere and mold the deepest, subtlest, intricate structures of personhood, are constituted and emergent in the most elusive folds and lineaments of consciousness, and are articulated in lastingly resilient, enduring textual tapestries of experience, orientations, desires. The range of habitus is deep and broad: habitus forms the long arc of evolutionary developments and arrangements of the body in action and at rest, posture, gait, stance, and gesture; it is the silent teacher of the phonemic alphabet, determining subtle distinctions of timbre and tone, accents and intonations in voice articulations; it is the subcutaneous, ingrained dynamic inhering in daily competencies, executed flawlessly and yet seemingly unconsciously, such as balancing huge loads the size of a person's body weight on the head as Kikuyu women often do, or walking fearlessly on narrow glacial paths through plunging cliffs as the Sherpas do, or weaving in and out of traffic while engaged in deep conversations on a cell phone as Californians do. Habitus describes the imbrication of structure and culture in desire. It is what defines subtle distinctions of taste, those almost ineffable differences of sweetness, succulence, spiciness, and bitterness in food and drink; the raging fetishes and unbidden cravings that shadow sexuality; the fickle difference between scents that intoxicate or trigger upheavals of wretching. Habitus, then, is "human nature" understood as the dee ~ Omedi Ochieng
Californians quotes by Omedi Ochieng
I notice that, in the lecture ... which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris ... he brought forward certain freak formulae for tartaric acid, in which hydrogen figures as bigamist ... I may say, he but follows the loose example set by certain Uesanians, especially one G. N. Lewis, a Californian thermodynamiter, who has chosen to disregard the fundamental canons of chemistry - for no obvious reason other than that of indulging in premature speculation upon electrons as the cause of valency ~ Henry Edward Armstrong
Californians quotes by Henry Edward Armstrong
A new study says that over half of all Californians are
obese. In fact, half of Californians are really two-thirds
of Californians. ~ Jay Leno
Californians quotes by Jay Leno
Southern Californians freak out when it rains, yet when there's an earthquake they're like 'pass the salt. ~ Gregor Collins
Californians quotes by Gregor Collins
You know, Californians care about protecting their environment. So do I. But they also care about that in the context of a healthy economy. ~ Carly Fiorina
Californians quotes by Carly Fiorina
Louie and Seabiscuit were both Californians and both on the sports pages in the 1930s. I was fascinated. When I learned about his World War II experiences, I thought, 'If this guy is still alive, I want to meet him.' ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Californians quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
In California depth is measured in feet: six feet on one end of the pool and three feet on the other. ~ Anthony Marais
Californians quotes by Anthony Marais
You don't need it, but will you take some advice from a Californian who's been around for a while? Cherish these rivers. Witness for them. Enjoy their unimprovable purpose as you sense it, and let those rivers that you never visit comfort you with the assurance that they are there, doing wonderfully what they have always done. ~ David R. Brower
Californians quotes by David R. Brower
Californians tend to be outspoken. When the great migration began, the more timid people must have stayed home, and the bolder ones headed west. ~ Shana Alexander
Californians quotes by Shana Alexander
These were my countrymen, these were the new Californians. With their bright polo shirts and sunglasses, they were in paradise, they belonged. But down on Main Street, down on Towne and San Pedro, and for a mile on lower Fifth Street were the tens of thousands of others; they couldn't afford sunglasses or a four-bit polo shirt and they hid in the alleys by day and slunk off to flop houses by night. A cop won't pick you up for vagrancy in Los Angeles if you wear a fancy polo shirt and a pair of sunglasses. But if there is dust on your shoes and that sweater you wear is thick like the sweaters they wear in the snow countries, he'll grab you. So get yourselves a polo shirt boys, and a pair of sunglasses, and white shoes, if you can. Be collegiate. It'll get you anyway. After a while, after big doses of the Times and the Examiner, you too will whoop it up for the sunny south. You'll eat hamburgers year after year and live in dusty, vermin-infested apartments and hotels, but every morning you'll see the mighty sun, the eternal blue of the sky, and the streets will be full of sleek women you never will possess, and the hot semi-tropical nights will reek of romance, you'll never have, but you'll still be in paradise, boys, in the land of sunshine.
As for the folks back home, you can lie to them, because they hate the truth anyway, they won't have it, because soon or late they want to come out to paradise, too. ~ John Fante
Californians quotes by John Fante
Californians have brought suburb-making almost to an art. Their cities and their country-side are equally suburban. No-one has a country house in California; no-one has a city house. It is good to see trees always from city windows, but it is not so good always to see houses from country windows. ~ Stella Benson
Californians quotes by Stella Benson
unlike most Californians who fled their state and moved here and then wanted to make Montana into a version of what they left behind. ~ Dean Koontz
Californians quotes by Dean Koontz
California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom. ~ Don DeLillo
Californians quotes by Don DeLillo
I would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective. ~ Mark Twain
Californians quotes by Mark Twain
According to the latest L.A. Times poll, 75% of Californians believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. And 60% of Californians are so disillusioned, they're thinking about moving back to Mexico. ~ Jay Leno
Californians quotes by Jay Leno
This is one of those California moments, and these two women now have their own dose of surrealism to share with their friends: the mostly naked, mountaintop cello player and his even more naked, duck holding friend. Everyone here grooves on those stories, where the line between locals and tourists blur, and for a moment we're all Californians because we share the same love. ~ Edmond Manning
Californians quotes by Edmond Manning
My life doesn't change. I still have to go out and work hard every day and do the best that I can do. ~ Scott Eastwood
Californians quotes by Scott Eastwood
The federal government secures the border; Californians decide how we want to treat our population. I think we need a vibrant guest worker program. If we have one, we're going to stop having a lot of issues at the border. ~ Elizabeth Emken
Californians quotes by Elizabeth Emken
Hoosiers aren't quitters. California people are quitters. No offense. It's just you've got restlessness in your blood.' 'I don't,' she said, but he went on. 'Your people came here looking for something better. Gold, fame, citrus. Mirage. They were feckless, yeah? Schemers. That's why no one wants them now. Mojavs. ~ Claire Vaye Watkins
Californians quotes by Claire Vaye Watkins
Californians are people who insist on growing their own vegetables, but they won't dig up the pretty lawn, won't plant anything for fear of getting dirty, and they use fragrant bath salts from The Body Shop instead of smelly compost. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Californians quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Californians are good at planning for the earthquake, while simultaneously denying it will happen. ~ Sheila Ballantyne
Californians quotes by Sheila Ballantyne
Public opinion has been evolving nationwide when it comes to marijuana policy, and Californians have always been ahead of the curve. ~ Rob Kampia
Californians quotes by Rob Kampia
Though she knew even less about radios than about Southern Californians, there were to both outward patterns a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to communicate. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Californians quotes by Thomas Pynchon
We are delighted with today's State Supreme Court ruling allowing marriage equality in California. It is a true testament to advancing equality and to recognizing the right of all Californians to build a future with the person they love. We recently lost Mildred Loving, the woman whose marriage to a man of another race ushered in the Supreme Court ruling that made marriage colorblind. Today's ruling is another important reminder that love will overcome. ~ Karen Bass
Californians quotes by Karen Bass
Californians devised a system of electricity sales that ignored every dimension of the free market. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Californians quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
I pull into the mall. This is the place to go when you're feeling homesick for California. The rest of the world likes our buildings, contructs with 'character,' but Californians like everything spanking new, clean as an unopened package of plastic spoons. ~ Patricia Geary
Californians quotes by Patricia Geary
I am motivated by the fact that in the next 365 days, 136,000 Californians will die and most of them will go into an eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 2.4 million Americans will die; most of them will go into eternity without Christ. In the next 365 days, 74 million people in the world will go into eternity without Christ and without hope. I can't live with that. ~ Rick Warren
Californians quotes by Rick Warren
There are Californians who waiver in their allegiance to the climate of California. Sometimes the climate of San Francisco has made me cross. Sometimes I have thought that the winds in summer were too cold, that the fogs in summer were too thick. But whenever I have crossed the continent - when I have emerged from New York at ninety-five degrees, and entered Chicago at one hundred degrees - when I have been breathing the dust of alkali deserts and the fiery air of sagebrush plains - these are the times when I have always been buoyed up by the anticipation of inhaling the salt air of San Francisco Bay.
If ever a summer wanderer is glad to get back to his native land, it is I, returning to my native fog. Like the prodigal youth who returned to his home and filled himself with husks, so I always yearn in summer to return to mine, and fill myself up with fog. Not a thin, insignificant mist, but a fog - a thick fog - one of those rich pea-soup August fogs that blow in from the Pacific Ocean over San Francisco.
When I leave the heated capitals of other lands and get back to California uncooked, I always offer up a thank-offering to Santa Niebla, Our Lady of the Fogs. Out near the Presidio, where Don Joaquin de Arillaga, the old comandante, revisits the glimpses of the moon, clad in rusty armor, with his Spanish spindle-shanks thrust into tall leathern boots - there some day I shall erect a chapel to Santa Niebla. And I have vowed to her as an ex-voto a silver fog-horn, wh ~ Jerome Hart
Californians quotes by Jerome Hart
An old interview of Arnold Schwartzenegger has surfaced where he admits to smoking a lot of pot and having sex with hookers. Finally a Republican all Californians can get behind. ~ David Letterman
Californians quotes by David Letterman
Jules liked that I was a local. I made her feel authentic, which is especially important to Californians. ~ Claire Vaye Watkins
Californians quotes by Claire Vaye Watkins
We Californians are constantly accused of not having seasons, but we do. We have fire, flood, mud, and drought. ~ Phyllis Diller
Californians quotes by Phyllis Diller
Hear about the Californian terrorist that tried to blow up a bus? Burned his lips on the exhaust pipe. He can take his'n and beat your'n, then he can take your'n and beat his'n. ~ Bum Phillips
Californians quotes by Bum Phillips
East is East, and West is San Francisco, according to Californians. Californians are a race of people; they are not merely inhabitants of a State. ~ O. Henry
Californians quotes by O. Henry
Californians try everything once. ~ T. J. MacGregor
Californians quotes by T. J. MacGregor
The use it and lose it problem is pervasive, affecting more than 40,000 Californians a year. ~ John Garamendi
