Myra here.
I am joining Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Story Challenge this week with an L-Photo from Los Angeles.
L is for Los Angeles
“The entrance to the Underworld is in Los Angeles.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief
“Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.”
― Frank Lloyd Wright
“I could hear everything, together with the hum of my hotel neon. I never felt sadder in my life. LA is the loneliest and most brutal of American cities; New York gets godawful cold in the winter but there’s a feeling of wacky comradeship somewhere in some streets. LA is a jungle.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
“Los Angeles was the kind of place where everybody was from somewhere else and nobody really droppped anchor. It was a transient place. People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare. Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary. Figuratively, literally, metaphorically — any way you want to look at it — everbody in L.A. keeps a bag packed. Just in case.”
― Michael Connelly, The Brass Verdict

thanks for the interesting quotation: “New York gets godawful cold in the winter, but there’s a feeling of wacky comradeship somewhere in some streets. LA is a jungle.”

I was there only briefly (passing through, of course) and I have to say that this pretty much summarises how I felt about what I saw. Some great quotes! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
