“My mother's mother's family moved north from Mexico having migrated from Spain, from Portugal, from Ireland, and likely from an Indian village somewhere.”
Gerald W. Haslam, Coming Of Age In California: Personal Essays

“I recently read that moving is right up there in stress level and freak-out factor with public speaking and being on a crashing airplane. No wonder my anxiety bucket is approaching capacity.”
Rick Springfield, Late, Late at Night

Upton Sinclair
“Love of children--ah, yes, all scandal-bureaus know what that means!”
Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism

“I am neither an accountant nor a lawyer, and I am not sure that I would be able to make sense of all this even if I were. After talking with each of the Crickets, with Petty, with the Holleys and Maria Elena and others who were close to the situation, it is my own judgement that Holly and the Crickets never received much of what was rightfully theirs--although they may well have been paid all that was legally due to them. In the entertainment industry, even more than in other businesses, what is fair and what is legal are often worlds apart. This is just my opinion and others may conclude differently.”
John Goldrosen and John Beecher, Remembering Buddy: The Definitive Biography Of Buddy Holly

“While in junior high school, I became aware of social castes and realized they were weightier than racial categories. In the seventh grade, for the first time in my life, I was subjected to condescension by children of wealth, most of whom I considered jerks. It was frustrating because normal remedies did not apply: punching them out, earning better grades, consigning them to the bench in sports--nothing seemed to weaken the mind-set that assigned me an intrinsically inferior status: I still lived in Oildale and they summered in La Cresta; I summered at a packing shed, they summered at a country club.”
Gerald Haslam
