“I love two-lane highways. They say something about the way things used to be, and about areas that don't have a lot of people. On those two-lanes at night you get the sense of moving into the unknown, and that's as thrilling a sense as human beings can have.” PeopleWayHumansTwoMovingUsedNightHuman BeingsAreasUsed To BeHighwaysThrillingLanes Author:David Lynch
“The California I knew, old rancho California, is gone. It just doesn't exist, except maybe in little pockets. I lived on the edge of the Mojave Desert, an area that used to be farm country. There were all these fresh-produce stands with avocados and date palms. You could get a dozen artichokes for a buck or something. Totally wiped out now.” LittlesCountryUsedGoneProduceAreasEdgesUsed To BeDesertCaliforniaPocketsFarmsDozenPalmsBucksAvocadosArtichokesMojave Author:Sam Shepard
“Philosophy used to be a field that had content, but then natural philosophy became physics, and physics has only continued to make inroads. Every time theres a leap in physics, it encroaches on these areas that philosophers have carefully sequestered away to themselves, and so then you have this natural resentment on the part of philosophers.” PhilosophyUsedNaturalFieldsAreasPhilosopherPhysicsUsed To BeLeapResentmentNatural Philosophy Author:Lawrence M.

“I was told by journalists who can't publish it that there are in Mexico, close to the U.S. border, big areas that used to be devoted to agriculture that are now devoted to poppies.

“My own sense is that fiction is inching its way over to join poetry on the cultural margin.

“Many people nowadays who discover that they have a major symptom, whether psychological or physical, begin to study it. They get drawn very deeply into the area of their trouble.

“The term Christian used to be a pejorative. Back in the day, Christians were persecuted; however, over time, it became one of the word's biggest religions. Same thing with the term Mormons in the religious area. Mormons didn't want to be called that. They wanted to be called Latter-day Saints. It's only been in recent decades that they kind of shifted that position and took ownership of it.” WantKindWantedChristianUsedTermReligiousPositionAreasSaintDecadesUsed To BeLatterOwnershipPersecutedBack In The DayLatter DaysLatter Day Saints Author:Simon Tam
