Los Angeles is a bleached-out, soulless pit.
‐‐ Robert Sean Leonard
Los Angeles is a city of few hard targets. Its iconic buildings are private spaces, mostly residential, visible by invitation only or in the pages of a Taschen book. Its central industry is as mirage-like as the projection of light on a screen.
‐‐ Dana Goodyear
Los Angeles is a good city in which to be a reporter. Always entertaining, always an incubator.
‐‐ Dana Goodyear
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
‐‐ Ice T
Los Angeles is a one-horse town. It's entirely driven by the entertainment business and that's what it is.
‐‐ Jason Priestley
Los Angeles is a really strange place. I grew up there like a normal kid, but it was not until I experienced other parts of the world that I realized how really and truly bizarre to the core it is - inside the homes of the powerful and damaged.
‐‐ Dakota Johnson
Los Angeles is a true postmodern city. Here, we celebrate with equal aplomb the high and the low. I am just as influenced by the punk rock attitude of local skate and surf cultures as I am by old-school glamour and stardust.
‐‐ Liz Goldwyn
Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.
‐‐ Alex Pettyfer
Los Angeles is a very special city. It's a great ethnic mix, a great cultural mix.
‐‐ Gustavo Dudamel
Los Angeles is an amazing city to live in, but the traffic is unbelievable. It's overwhelming at times. It's the source of a lot of frustration.
‐‐ David Sutcliffe
Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.
‐‐ Carter Burwell
Los Angeles is just a more open place. The way L.A. functions is that people give you a forum. They say, Show us what you can do.
‐‐ Esa-Pekka Salonen
Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.
‐‐ Emily Mortimer
Los Angeles is my home - I have my wife and two daughters growing up there.
‐‐ Nobu Matsuhisa
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there. They say 'yes' to things; not like the endless 'nos' and 'hrrumphs' you get in England!
‐‐ Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.
‐‐ Diablo Cody
Los Angeles is one of the four cultural capitals of the world, but we don't attract as many cultural tourists as New York, London or Paris. I want to change that.
‐‐ Eli Broad
Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.
‐‐ Patrick Duffy
Los Angeles is such a great meritocracy. Where can someone with my background - don't have the right family background, the right religion, the right provenance or whatever you want to call it - I come here and I'm accepted. The city's been good to me. And I want to give back.
‐‐ Eli Broad
Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around, and you get pinned on it.
‐‐ Julia Roberts
Los Angeles is such a widespread city, sometimes it's hard to see your friends, and food is a great way to get together - it's a great way of giving love.
‐‐ Sofia Milos
Los Angeles is the only place that I can honestly say I have ever called home.
‐‐ Naveen Andrews
Los Angeles is the place where British people come to exceed their worth.
‐‐ Ryan Cartwright
Los Angeles produced the Beach Boys. Dusseldorf produced Kraftwerk. New York produced Chic. Manchester produced Joy Division.
‐‐ Bernard Sumner
Los Angeles survives on that which is unpredictable. The unexpected courses through its very veins.
‐‐ Ellie Kemper
Los Angeles was an impression of failure, of disappointment, of despair, and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.
‐‐ Joseph Barbera
Los Angeles was great fun because it was the polar opposite of Moscow in 1980. It was sunny and bright, lots of colours around, whereas Moscow was dark and oppressive.
‐‐ Daley Thompson
Los Angeles, which is where I live, happens to be a great place for junk. People have a lot of it, and they sell it and trade it: At these big swap meets, many, many hundreds of dealers of junk will descend upon a football field on a Saturday and sell all their stuff.
‐‐ Ransom Riggs
Los Cabos has been an amalgam of many cultures that have been coming here. There have been beautiful Jesuit missions for example, in many places around this area. The towns are incredible. But there is a very strong Mexicanized culture here that exists because people from different parts of Mexico have come to live here.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.
‐‐ Richard Whately
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
‐‐ Friedrich Schiller
Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.
‐‐ Mick Jagger
Lose your inhibitions about drawing and just do it.
‐‐ Chris Riddell
Loser lit antiheroes aren't well intentioned or earnest; they don't care whether you like them or not. They're self-mocking, ironic and inventive; they narrate their downfalls with manic wordplay, rampant metaphors, wisecracks, and escalating flights of spleen-fueled lyricism.
‐‐ Kate Christensen
Losers are more like the rest of us. They make mistakes they can't take back.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
Losers are people who are afraid of losing.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
‐‐ Denis Waitley
Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.
‐‐ Denis Waitley
Losing a child is probably the singular most horrible thing.
‐‐ Laura Schlessinger
Losing a family member is extremely difficult for anyone to take. But the normal reaction is to want to get back to your work as soon as you can.
‐‐ Charlie Adam
Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
‐‐ Joe Paterno
Losing a parent over eight years is a very dark journey. I spent the first four years feeling bad and angry and sorry for myself.
‐‐ Lauren Miller
Losing a Super Bowl destroys all the good things that happened to get you there.
‐‐ Don Shula
Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
‐‐ Ludwig Borne
Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.
‐‐ Jon Hamm
Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose; also the first announcement of death.
‐‐ Peter Conrad
Losing feels worse than winning feels good.
‐‐ Vin Scully
Losing has nothing to do with geography.
‐‐ Chuck Noll
Losing hurts me.
‐‐ Chris Evert
Losing hurts me. I was determined to be the best.
