I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses.

~By Mickey Gilley ~
I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.

In my district, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles handle approximately 44 percent of all of the goods delivered to American shores, yet they are in constant need of revenue for facilities, improvements and upgrades to roads and bridges and rails.
~By Dana Rohrabacher ~
I think its really matured a lot. I like the fact that there is now more to do there than gamble, since I don't do a lot of that. The people are great. I seldom have time for vacations and when I do I prefer the beach instead of the desert.

For me, our beaches have always been a source of personal inspiration.
~By Thomas Carper ~

~By Arnold J. Toynbee ~
I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait.
~By Cameron Diaz ~
The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group.

~By Oksana Baiul ~

~By Dick Wolf ~

~By Jeff Miller ~
I enjoyed growing up part of my life in Virginia Beach. We had the ocean and the beach and a beautiful landscape. We were outdoors all the time and we played outside.

~By Bruce Johnston ~
The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.
~By Henry Beston ~
Well, obviously I wanted it to sound as original as possible. I suppose the influences that we had were probably from the actual power point of view we wanted to be like the Who. Vocally we wanted to be like the Beach Boys, whatever was good at the time.
~By Roy Wood ~
Well, I went to school with Jan and Dean, Ryan O'Neal, some of the Beach Boys we all use to party together.

~By Luigi Barzini ~
What's really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we're alive for only a limited period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working.
~By Victor Kiam ~
I've been to nudist beaches, like twice. But honestly, I just don't want to see these people naked. Most people look better with their clothes on, and the few that don't, look better than you, so why bother?
~By Peter Buck ~
A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about.
~By Newt Gingrich ~
We've been swimming at nude beaches and I love to go skinny dipping, but I'm sorry, sitting on top of a mountain, that's just, you're trying to show off or something. That's ridiculous.
~By Andy Richter ~

~By Cyril Connolly ~
Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.

~By Erma Bombeck ~
I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny.
~By Kathleen Turner ~
Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.
~By Bruce Johnston ~
Along the beach I never collected shells from my father's shore.
~By Corey Hart ~
We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.
~By Eric Cantona ~
I grew up on the beaches of Southern California surfing and sailing and I've always loved horses so it was part of my dream that I was able to fulfill to have horses.
~By Bo Derek ~
Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.
~By John Kenneth Galbraith ~
Miami Beach is where neon goes to die.

~By Ray Davies ~
Some people get into this business and they're so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position like clinging to a beachhead. These actors end up making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I'm going down swinging.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

~By Dana Carvey ~
My son walked up to Nicole on the beach and I was throwing the ball for the dogs in the ocean. I was like, 'Max, you get the dogs. I'll talk to the hot blondes.'

~By Jose Saramago ~
In fact, I was one of the few trusted people that Lucy allowed to play with their kids. I spent time at their summer home, rode horses at their ranch, and swam at their beach house. I even spent a Christmas with them at Palm Springs one year.

Gentlemen, we are being killed on the beaches. Lets go inland and be killed.
~By Norman Cota ~

~By Katie Holmes ~
I'm really normal. I play football, go to the beach, drive. We have dogs. I can imagine people calling me a character, but I'm Joe Straight.

They all went down in droves because just scenes of palm trees and beaches can get pretty boring.
~By James MacArthur ~
They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.
~By Leif Garrett ~

Concealing an illness is like keeping a beach ball under water.
~By Karen Duffy ~
The awesomeness of God is that even in the works of the Beach Boys, Beatles, etc., the beauty of the music is a mere reflection of what God does everyday. He creates music of all kinds and moods.

~By Anne Morrow Lindbergh ~
I've never been one for sitting on beaches.
~By Piper Perabo ~
We filmed one scene on the beach and there was definitely weird energy around, and we were followed around by a white owl to several different locations, and little things like that, or certain mishaps would happen and you'd have to wonder what that was about.
~By Rachel True ~
The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.
~By Rose Byrne ~
