Rivals Southern California

Famous quotes containing the words rivals, southern and/or california:

    What poet would not grieve to see
    His brother write as well as he?
    But rather than they should excel,
    He’d wish his rivals all in Hell.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
