los angeles - quotes

Bertolt Brecht, 1898-1956

was a German Communist and dramatist

On thinking about Hell, I gather
My brother Shelley found it was a place
Much like the city of London. I
Who live in Los Angeles and not in London
Find, on thinking about Hell, that it must be
Still more like Los Angeles.

Dorothy (Rothschild) Parker, 1893-1967

was an US author, humorist, poet, and wit

Los Angeles: Seventy-two suburbs in search of a city.
