“There's no doubt in my mind that people on the West Coast - L.A. particularly - and the East Coast have no clue at all about what's happening outside their own little bailiwick. And they think everybody is stupid because they are not sophisticated.” PeopleThinkingMindLittlesDoubtStupidHappeningsWestEastNo DoubtSophisticatedCoastClueWest CoastEast Coast Author:Andy Williams
“What is now happening to the people of the East as of the West is like what happens to every individual when he passes from childhood to adolescence and from youth to manhood. He loses what had hitherto guided his life and lives without direction, not having found a new standard suitable to his age, and so he invents all sorts of occupations, cares, distractions, and stupefactions to divert his attention from the misery and senselessness of his life. Such a condition may last a long time.” PeopleMayLongHappensCareAgeLastsFoundIndividualLosesAttentionChildhoodConditionsYouthLong TimeStandardsHappeningsMiseryWestEastOccupationDistractionAdolescenceManhoodSuitableSenselessness Book:I Cannot be Silent: Writings on Politics, Art and Religion by Leo Tolstoy Source: I Cannot be Silent: Writings on Politics, Art and Religion by Leo Tolstoy

“So, it just seemed like it happened naturally. We nailed our live show to some extent in a year or about a year and a half, maybe just a year of playing songs pretty much around L.A. then we went and scheduled a mini-tour up-state on the West Coast and that's when the whole Rough Trade [Records] thing started happening and from there, things just happened so quick.

“Permafrost in the soil [is melting], in the boreal and arctic areas in the world, and, probably even more alarming in the last six or eight months, the data on what is happening to the ice shelves in Greenland and the west Antarctic has begun to cause people to radically reassess the earlier conviction that those ice shelves were stable on a kind of century-long time scale.” PeopleWorldKindLongLastsCausesCenturyMonthsSixLong TimeHappeningsAreasWestConvictionEightScalesIceDataSoilStableShelvesMeltingArcticGreenland Author:Bill McKibben

“The only acceptable way to solve ecological problems is if you can persuade people to have fewer children. In the Victorian times, there were families of 15 children. Someone like Edward Lear, he was the last of 21 children. And so what we have to think about is offering people the alternative choice. And in the West, that's what's happening. The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. I'm wanting human beings to be better off so they don't view children as an insurance for the future.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayHumansChildrenHas BeensStillsProblemLastsChoicesHuman BeingsViewsBirthHappeningsWestRateSolveAlternativesFewerAcceptableOfferingBetter OffDroppingEcologicalVictorianLearBirth RateVictorian Times Author:David Attenborough
