1001 Greatest Things Ever Said About California
By Steven D. Price
The most insightful things ever said about America's golden state.
From the Back Cover
'There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience.
And then there is California.'
—Edward Abbey
'One of the things I had a hard time getting used to when I came to California
in ’78 was Santa Claus in shorts.'
—Dennis Franz
'The final story, the final chapter of Western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles.'
—Phil Ochs
Sweetheart, baby! This compilation of 1001 quotes from and about the Golden State offers both sharp and sentimental observations from entertainers (Bob Hope), politicians (Arnold the Governator), novelists (D. H. Lawrence), screenwriters (Woody Allen), columnists (Herb Caen), and scores of others whose subjects range from the Bay Area to San Diego and all points in between. It’s a must for those of us who have left our hearts in San Francisco, maxxed out our credit cards on Rodeo Drive, or stood in awe of any of California’s other cultural and scenic attractions.
