Eighties Quotes

If you had told me in the Seventies and Eighties that TV would be as edgy or edgier than most films, and more intelligently written than most films, I wouldn’t have believed it. There’s great stuff out there Picture Quote #1

I feel like I sort of missed the eighties. At the time, we didn’t know we were having fun, which is probably the way it always is Picture Quote #1

We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties.

I wouldn’t wish the eighties on anyone, it was the time when all that was rotten bubbled to the surface. If you were not at the receiving end of this mayhem you could be unaware of it. It was possible to live through the decade preoccupied by the mortgage and the pence you saved on your income tax. It was also possible for those of us who saw what was happening to turn our eyes in a different direction; but what, in another decade, had been a trip to the clap clinic was now a trip to the mortuary Picture Quote #1

In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living Picture Quote #1

Back in the Eighties, I’d buy the biggest Benetton jumper I could find and would wear it long-sleeved, hanging off my shoulders, with a varsity jacket and a baseball cap on back to front with a quiff. I was the smallest boy in my class, and I looked like a reject from New Kids On The Block. Terrible Picture Quote #1

Development can indeed continue beyond childhood and youth, beyond the seventies. It can continue until the very end of life, given purposes that challenge and use our human abilities... In sum, our development does not necessarily end at any age. We can continue to develop into our eighties, even to our nineties Picture Quote #1

There’s a whole apparatus for indie bands now, but back in the eighties it was just getting built. The early people really took it on the chin Picture Quote #1

Around the time I began starving, in the early eighties, the visual image had begun to supplant text as culture’s primary mode of communication, a radical change because images work so differently than words: They’re immediate, they hit you at levels way beneath intellect, they come fast and furious Picture Quote #1
