Venice Beach

Famous quotes containing the words venice and/or beach:

    I know our country disposition well;
    In Venice they do let God see the pranks
    They dare not show their husbands; their best conscience
    Is not to leave’t undone, but keep’t unknown.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
