Piper directed me into downtown Los Angeles.
I considered this a bad sign. "Downtown Los Angeles" had always struck me as an oxymoron, like "hot ice cream" or "military intelligence". (Yes, Ares, that was an insult.) ~ Rick Riordan
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Rick Riordan
I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights. ~ Kesh
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Kesh
At six years old we didn't have any money;
there was my mother, my brother and I.
We had a deadbeat dad; left us before we were
two, but she took us at Christmas-time to
downtown Los Angeles.
We had little cars going around in circles,
it was pretty cool, and decorations in the
window.
She gave my brother and I a dime and told
us, "Boys whole half of it each, give it to
the man ringing the bell in the bucket."
We put it in this bucket, we said, "Mom, why
did we give that man a dime?
That's like two soda pops."
This is 1951, two soda pops, three candy bars.
And mom said, "Boys, that's the Salvation
Army.
They take care of people that have no place
to live and no food.
And we don't have a lot of money, but we can
afford a dime this year.
Boys, always remember in life: give a little
something to those in need, they'll always
be somebody that's not as well-off as you
are.

No matter where you are or how far down you
are, try and help someone along the way."
It stuck with me. ~ John Paul DeJoria
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by John Paul DeJoria
She likes that and I like it too because to/make a thing true all you've/got to do is believe ~ Charles Bukowski
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Charles Bukowski
I spent nine days in the Downtown Los Angeles City Jail. The judge gave me a suspended sentence and I went to work that night - wailed just like nothing happened. What strucked me funny though - I laughed real loud when several movie stars came up to the bandstand while we played a dance set and told me, when they heard about me getting caught with marijuana, they thought marijuana was a chick. Woo boy - that really fractured me! ~ Louis Armstrong
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Louis Armstrong
Despite the mountain of gold that has been built downtown, Los Angeles remains vulnerable to the same explosive convergence of street anger, poverty, environmental crisis, and capital flight that made the early 1990s its worth crisis period since the early Depression. ~ Mike Davis
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Mike Davis
AT&T sucks. There's no excuse for being in downtown Los Angeles, and your phone loses service. That's ridiculous. ~ Blake Shelton
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Blake Shelton
Even the cleanest air, at the centre of the South Pacific or somewhere over Antarctica, has two hundred thousand assorted bits and pieces in every lungful. And this count rises to two million or more in the thick of the Serengeti migration, or over a six-lane highway during rush hour in downtown Los Angeles. ~ Lyall Watson
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Lyall Watson
I finished the movie a month ago in downtown Los Angeles. I had a lot of fun doing it. ~ Coolio
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Coolio
I got to meet a lot of cool people [on the Voice], and my favorite part about the experience was getting to sit around and do little jam sessions in the hotel. We were pretty much in lockdown at the hotel in downtown Los Angeles, and there wasn't much to do. It was interesting to be in a room with someone that was a rapper next to me, a country artist, then you have someone playing a song on the keyboard, and it was just really cool as just a random ensemble. ~ Curtis Grimes
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Curtis Grimes
I know many of you thought that I would be retiring today, but if I was ever going to announce my retirement it would not be in a downtown Los Angeles hotel with this fairly ugly carpet. ~ Maria Sharapova
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Maria Sharapova
This is flight 121 to Los Angeles. If your travel plans today do not include Los Angeles, now would be the perfect time to disembark. ~ Douglas Adams
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Douglas Adams
And after I compose my programs, but it is very easy because I look to the music in a very natural way without fuss, and so I look always music, in my home, like books and books and books, choose books and you read the pages, so I do this with music, and I make programs. ~ Victoria De Los Angeles
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Victoria De Los Angeles
We wanted to protect the legacy of DC Comics here in New York, and there are many things that make sense to protect and maintain while setting up parts of the organization in Los Angeles to grow. ~ Diane Nelson
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Diane Nelson
See, that's the thing about L.A. - When you've mastered the art of feeling lonely in a room full of people, that's when you know. ~ Kris Kidd
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Kris Kidd
The Board of Inquiry report fails to recognize that the central problem in the Los Angeles Police Department is the culture. The reality is there will not be meaningful reform in the Los Angeles Police Department until the culture is changed. ~ Erwin Chemerinsky
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Erwin Chemerinsky
When you see the Escalades and the Hummers driving down the street, at least in Los Angeles, this dry, flat desert with shopping malls, when you see someone driving one of those through this you're like, 'You are definitely part of the problem.' ~ Henry Rollins
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Henry Rollins
Los Angeles is a constellation of plastic. ~ Norman Mailer
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Norman Mailer
I think that it's too much to take on the world. It's too much to take on Los Angeles. All I can do is to go back home to the canyon where we live and ask the kinds of questions that can make a difference in our neighborhoods. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
There were the phone calls and Elvis had asked me to visit him in Los Angeles. This was in 1962. ~ Priscilla Presley
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Priscilla Presley
In California, the state's huge dairy herd produces twenty-seven million tons of manure a year, the particulates and vapors from which have helped to make air quality in the argiculturally intensive San Joaquin Valley worse than it is Los Angeles. ~ Paul Roberts
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Paul Roberts
By not talking about death with our loved ones, not being clear through advanced directives, DNR (do not resuscitate) orders, and funeral plans, we are directly contributing to this future ... and a rather bleak present, at that. Rather than engage in larger societal discussions about dignified ways for the terminally ill to end their lives, we accept intolerable cases like that of Angelita, a widow in Oakland who covered her head with a plastic bag because the arthritic pain of her gnarled joints was too much to bear. Or that of Victor in Los Angeles, who hung himself from the rafters of his apartment after his third unsuccessful round of chemotherapy, leaving his son to discover his body. Or the countless bodies with decubitus ulcers, more painful for me to care for them even babies or suicides. When these bodies come into the funeral home, I can only offer my sympathy to their living relatives, and promise to work to ensure that more people are not robbed of a dignified death by a culture of silence. ~ Caitlin Doughty
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Caitlin Doughty
I was just in Las Vegas, where prostitution is legal. Which is a relief because I live in Los Angeles, where it is mandatory. ~ Greg Fitzsimmons
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Greg Fitzsimmons
I come to a red light, tempted to go through it, then stop once I see a billboard sign that I don't remember seeing and I look up at it. All it says is 'Disappear Here' and even though it's probably an ad for some resort, it still freaks me out a little and I step on the gas really hard and the car screeches as I leave the light. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat. ~ Albert Einstein
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Albert Einstein
My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives. ~ Art Alexakis
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Art Alexakis
In 1970, a superior Court judge issues an order forcing the desegregation of Los Angeles schools. The judge survives an assassination attempt and loses his job in the next election. ~ James Frey
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by James Frey
I have never taken a road trip. Unless you count Los Angeles to Vegas. ~ Jamie-Lynn Sigler
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Jamie-Lynn Sigler
Los Angeles is one of the four cultural capitals of the world, but we don't attract as many cultural tourists as New York, London or Paris. I want to change that. ~ Eli Broad
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Eli Broad
I went to the surplus store on Santa Monica and Vine (in Los Angeles) and went and got me a Navy outfit, put the black tape under my eyes. I got me a whistle and went in there with a hat looking like a full-on drill sergeant. ~ Tyrese Gibson
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Tyrese Gibson
I'm not actually from Compton - I'm from South Central Los Angeles, and my father still lives in the same house I grew up in, so I'm there all the time. ~ Ice Cube
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Ice Cube
I'm always looking for ways to connect myself with American people and that American feeling. I'm trying to pick up on the feeling of places, like the Los Angeles feeling or the New York feeling ... Los Angeles is much better for me that way. ~ Takashi Murakami
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Takashi Murakami
I grew up in Louisiana, a lot of carbohydrates, fried foods, all very good. Butter, lots of homemade cakes and cookies. Here I am in Los Angeles and just really educating myself about food. Once you know better, you do better. ~ Ali Landry
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Ali Landry
Once, when cornered by a pinwheel-eyed man who insisted that the mayor of Los Angeles was not human but a robot controlled by the audioanimatronics department at Disneyland, Joe had lowered his voice and said, with nervous sincerity, "Yes, we've known about that for years. But if we print a word of it, the people at Disney will kill us all." He had spoken with such conviction that the nutball had exploded backward and fled. ~ Dean Koontz
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Dean Koontz
Los Angeles makes the rest of California seem authentic. ~ Jonathan Culler
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Jonathan Culler
There's one Baldessari work I genuinely love and would like to own, maybe because of my Midwestern roots and love of driving alone. 'The backs of all the trucks passed while driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, California, Sunday, 20 January 1963' consists of a grid of 32 small color photographs depicting just what the title says. ~ Jerry Saltz
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Jerry Saltz
I finished 'Ice Age: Continental Drift' in 2012, and I'm living in my agent's guest bedroom in Los Angeles because you don't make a ton of money writing an animated film. The movie makes a billion dollars, and you make 'twelve cents.' ~ Jason Fuchs
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Jason Fuchs
So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried to slug it out here. ~ Danny McBride
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Danny McBride
Los Angeles has the greatest concentration of surviving movie palaces in the United States, yet most residents have never been inside one of them. ~ Leonard Maltin
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Leonard Maltin
We live in Los Angeles, where you are expected to move every two to four years, so people can see how well your career is going. ~ Rita Rudner
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Rita Rudner
Los Angeles is my home - I have my wife and two daughters growing up there. ~ Nobu Matsuhisa
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Nobu Matsuhisa
I know Los Angeles has it better than Chicago when it comes to produce year round! ~ Rick Bayless
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Rick Bayless
Los Angeles is a sprawl of broken dreams and lost opportunities, disconnected souls and entertainment junkies. The sunny skies and graceful palms don't redeem jammed roadways to nowhere. ~ Carolyn Hart
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Carolyn Hart
People don't live in Los Angeles because we are tied to the same old, same old. We live in Los Angeles because of the intoxicating energy of new beginnings that permeate our city. ~ Marianne Williamson
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Marianne Williamson
People who grew up in New York City or Los Angeles tend not to even understand what goes on in the rest of the country. I'm really glad to have grown up in an environment where I actually was kind of a weirdo because I was obsessed with comedy and movies and stuff. ~ Ed Helms
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Ed Helms
The second mode to deal with unsafe cities is to take refuge in vehicles. This is the technique practiced in the big wild-animal reservations of Africa, where tourists are warned to leave their cars under no circumstances until they reach a lodge. It is also the technique practiced in Los Angeles. ~ Jane Jacobs
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Jane Jacobs
I moved with my mom to Los Angeles for her to pursue her acting career, and she got a job casting atmosphere in some independent films. ~ Thomas Ian Nicholas
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Thomas Ian Nicholas
When they show the destruction of society on color TV, I want to be able to look out over Los Angeles and make sure they get it right. ~ Phil Ochs
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Phil Ochs
In Sugamo, Louie asked his escort what had happened to the Bird. He was told that it was believed that the former sergeant, hunted, exiled and in despair, had stabbed himself to death.
The words washed over Louie. In prison camp, Watanabe had forced him to live in incomprehensible degradation and violence. Bereft of his dignity, Louie had come home to a life lost in darkness, and had dashed himself against the memory of the Bird. But on an October night in Los Angeles, Louie had found, in Payton Jordan's words, "daybreak." That night, the sense of shame and powerlessness that had driven his hate the Bird had vanished. The Bird was no longer his monster. He was only a man.
In Sugamo Prison, as he was told of Watanabe's fate, all Louie saw was a lost person, a life beyond redemption. He felt something that he had never felt fro his captor before. With a shiver of amazement, he realized that it was compassion.
At that moment, something shifted swiftly inside him. It was forgiveness, beautiful and effortless and complete. For Louie Zamperini, the was was over. ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
An editorial in the Los Angeles Times [1923] wistfully asked, 'Will eating chestnuts by crackling log fires become one of the lost arts preserved by a devoted people only in poetry and romance? ~ Susan Freinkel
Downtown Los Angeles quotes by Susan Freinkel
A great many people in Los Angeles are on special diets that restrict their intake of synthetic foods. The reason for this appears to be a widely held belief that organically grown fruits and vegetables make the cocaine work faster. ~ Fran Lebowitz
