I helped make the Sixties swing, and I'm very proud of that.

- Cilla Black

On one level the sixties revolt was an impressive illustration of Lenin's remark that the capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him with.

- Ellen Willis

This might be one way to start talking about differences between the early postmodern writers of the fifties and sixties and their contemporary descendants.

- David Foster Wallace

I hate being so nostalgic about the Sixties.

- David Bailey

The Sixties are now considered a historical period, just like the Roman Empire.

- Dave Barry

There's not that many people from the sixties who have progressed as writers and are continuing on. They're out there. But I'm one of them who's just continued on, following his own little inner madness.

- Creed Bratton

I look at couples in the street who are in their sixties and have been together for 40 years, and they're my idols. That's Ice and me for sure.

- Coco Austin

One of the things that fascinates me most about the toys of the Sixties and Seventies is that they were characters without stories, as such.

- Chris Roberson

Stewardesses were a joke to many of us coming of age in the liberated Sixties. They were no joke in the women's movement that liberated us, however.

- Cathleen Schine

In the Sixties, you needed talent to make it.

- Cilla Black

The sixties were characterized by a heady belief in instantaneous solutions.

- Audre Lorde

Look at the movies of the sixties and seventies. They were making a different kind of movie then. Would 'Network' ever be made now? No. Would 'Kramer vs. Kramer' ever be made now? No. Would 'Tootsie' ever be made now? Probably not. Robert Altman films? Never.

- Chris Pine

My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.

- Camille Paglia

The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.

- Bill Lee

I've liked country music for forever. And Buck Owens is just one of many country guitarists I like. I think Buck's Sixties records are really progressive.

- Buzz Osborne

Writing about where I was from and the people I knew was not something that would have occurred to me early on, because like so many Southerners of that period - the Sixties - I rejected those things when I went north.

- Bobbie Ann Mason

England was always very special. It was so important because the reason Benny and I started writing was the Beatles. During the Sixties, England was everything. To be number one in England was more important than being number one in America because England set the tone.

- Bjorn Ulvaeus

I dieted all the time in the Sixties, but we had no idea what dieting meant - we thought it meant not eating anything.

- Britt Ekland

I knew that if I wrote a new book every six months or every year, if I continued to read great books, eventually I would write something worthy of publication. I understood I might be in my forties or my fifties or even my sixties, but I felt confident that it would happen.

- Augusten Burroughs

The Stones were more dangerous than other bands of the Sixties. It looked like they had more fun than the Beatles - like they stayed up later.

- Alex Lifeson
