I studied at UC Santa Cruz before going on to do a grad program at UCLA. Santa Cruz was like an awesome hippie summer camp. I got to take a vacation from reality and hang out on beaches and in forests. – Aaron Koblin
The financial crisis that began in the summer of 2007 was an extraordinarily complex event with multiple causes. – Ben Bernanke
I was four years old then, and I think it must have been the next summer that I first heard the voices. – Black Elk
I seem to get totally wrapped up in teaching and working with students during the school year. During the summer, I try to spend time in the real world, writing code for therapy and perhaps for some useful purpose. – Brian Kernighan
For a long time, I’d been vaguely fascinated by the idea that Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic and Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in the same summer. – Bill Bryson
Mars is much closer to the characteristics of Earth. It has a fall, winter, summer and spring. North Pole, South Pole, mountains and lots of ice. No one is going to live on Venus; no one is going to live on Jupiter. – Buzz Aldrin
One swallow does not make a summer, but one skein of geese, cleaving the murk of March thaw, is the Spring. – Aldo Leopold
I used to sail a lot in all kinds of weather, competing on small sailboats in the ocean. And I travel a lot in Iceland on horses every summer, through the wild areas where there’s no inhabitants and there are volcanoes. – Baltasar Kormakur
For some reason I only crave fruit when I’m in a tropical place – if it’s really hot in the summer or if I go to a tropical island for work. But otherwise I really don’t crave it. – Carmen Electra
In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. – Barack Obama
I started my own business because my parents had no dowry for me, and I was worried. I ran it from their Martha Vineyard’s summer house. I baby-sat for a 14-year-old boy all summer and was giving him time-outs, even though I was two years younger than him. – Chelsea Handler
Along with you, I have witnessed the unfortunate rise in gasoline prices that has accompanied the summer driving season and the more recent spike in prices due to Hurricane Katrina. – Bob Ney
When I do entertain, in the summer, which is rare, I receive my guests on the front porch, set up wicker trays found at Pottery Barn, and serve iced beverages. Anytime I do welcome friends, it’s always a tray of canapes or Planters peanuts, jellied candy from Paris, and a good bottle of Sancerre. – Andre Leon Talley
I’m cold in summer. I’m the coldest person ever! It’s very ironic I’m never cold in the scripts. Every time I’m shooting, if you don’t see a part of me, there are hot water bottles there. – Carice van Houten
Spring has many American faces. There are cities where it will come and go in a day and counties where it hangs around and never quite gets there. Summer is drawn blinds in Louisiana, long winds in Wyoming, shade of elms and maples in New England. – Archibald MacLeish
We always seem to be a bit surprised that our children are reflecting stuff that we are showing them. I don’t know about you, but every movie that I saw when I was a kid, I emulated. I was Haley Mills for an entire summer and had an English accent. – Cheryl Ladd
The North Pole will be ice-free during summer in years to come, and that itself will put the Arctic Sea basin on a very high risk of… environmental disasters that might be there. – Aleqa Hammond
I think summer has become a venue for TV like it hasn’t been in years past, especially on Sunday nights. I know that when I’m winding down at the end of the weekend, just a really great TV show or movie is exactly what the doctor ordered. – Anna Wood
I was sure ‘Summer Heights High’ would be a cult ABC thing; I had no idea it would be such a big hit. – Chris Lilley
The counterculture has nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana having a ‘Hippy Summer’ or something. Street kids, and kids who want to live in any sort of counter-cultural experience other than what’s being presented by the mainstream media or political climate, or ‘normal’ cultural climate, are never going to look like that. – Chris Robinson
Very early on in the process of trying to sell ‘The Summer Prince,’ I was told, ‘Slavery seems to be very important to this society – is that on purpose?’ Well, duh. – Alaya Dawn Johnson
I rarely see one of the ‘summer blockbuster’ movies. I’d like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies. – Christopher Meloni
I have a house in the Connecticut countryside where you’ll always find me, summer or winter. – Candace Bushnell
When I watch the Olympics I become such an emotional wreck. I’ve always loved the Olympics, be it the summer or the winter Olympics. – Bryn Terfel
Teofilo Stevenson won his first Olympic gold medal in 1972 and his last world amateur championship in 1986. He won 302 fights and once went an unbelievable 11 years without a loss. Had Cuba not boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics, many think Stevenson would have won an unmatched four gold medals in boxing. – Brin-Jonathan Butler
I get burnt in the sun, so there’s no point me getting pecs for when I take my shirt off in the summer. – Brian O’Driscoll
I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. – Brendan Behan
We recorded that trio and it’s out on the Knitting Factory label. I’ve got another record in the can with that group and Marc, which I’ll hopefully finish some time before next summer. – Arto Lindsay
