Long Beach

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or beach:

    Inside the brain
    Two memories that long had lain
    Now quivered toward each other, lipped
    Together, and together slipped;
    And for a moment all was plain
    That men have thought about in vain.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
