Culver City Gang

Famous quotes containing the words culver, city and/or gang:

    Like as the culver on the bared bough
    Sits mourning for the absence of her mate,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
