• Este es el sesenta y nueve", le dije, presentándole la revista. Puse mis dedos -dos de ellos- sobre la acción, para que no la pasara por alto. "¿Por qué se llama sesenta y nueve?", preguntó, porque es una persona que arde en curiosidad. "Se inventó en 1969. Mi amigo Gregory conoce a un amigo del sobrino del inventor". "¿Qué hacía la gente antes de 1969?" "Sólo mamadas y masticar la caja, pero nunca a coro.

• [The strike in 1968] brought us together with teachers and also with progressive whites. All of us came from diverse backgrounds, but at the same time the reasons why we were at San Francisco State in the late sixties was because of the agitation and movement building that had occurred within our communities. We saw ourselves not separate from the community but intimately connected to it.

• I hope I'm beginning a new cycle of energy and creativity. If so, it'll really be my third career. The first was as a straight comic in the Sixties. The second was as a counterculture performer in the Seventies. The third will be...well, that's for others to judge.

• A mi madre le parecía bien que yo no fuera a lo seguro. Acordó con mi padre que yo iba a ser educado de forma diferente a como lo fueron mi hermano y mi hermana. Mis padres pasaron por toda la rebelión de los sesenta con mi hermano y mi hermana. Pero yo no sentía que tuviera que rebelarme porque nadie me decía que no podía hacer algo. Nunca pasé por esa etapa de padres-enemigos.

• In all seriousness, people think that it's the ideas that are important. Well, everyone has ideas, all the time. I tend to write mine down and remember them, but at some point you have to apply the bum to the seat and knock out about sixty five thousand words - that's how long a novel is.

• Desarrollé mi rutina de entrenamiento en mi último año en Jackson State. Encontré este banco de arena junto al río Pearl, cerca de mi ciudad natal, Columbia, Mississippi. Tracé un recorrido de unos 65 metros. Sesenta y cinco yardas sobre arena son como 120 sobre césped, pero correr sobre arena te ayuda a hacer los cortes a toda velocidad.

• I started to read James Baldwin very early on in my life. At a time, as a young adult in the Sixties, when there were not that many authors in whom I could recognize myself, he was an important guide and mentor to me as he was to many others. He helped me understand who I was and decipher the world around me. He gave me the words to defend myself and the argumentative rhetoric to master discussions with others.

• Es interesante observar que los mejores periodos del cine de terror italiano se produjeron en los años sesenta, cuando Italia disfrutaba de un periodo carnavalesco de fenomenal optimismo, y afloró el lado sombrío con todo el simbolismo oscuro, bello, barroco y católico que lo acompaña.

• Let's look at two things real quickly: the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the Sixties and the Arab Spring starting in Tunisia and Cairo. What they had in common was people who were told, and who believed inside themselves, that they were a certain way, and the society at large believed it.

• At age nine, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest. When I didn't collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

• I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.

• Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It's got labels on it - OAP, retirement - and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again.

• The very paradigm of revolution, of right versus wrong, good versus bad, is a relic with no bearing on the present. Yet artists, exhibitions, and curators valorize the sixties. People who wrote about these artists 30 years ago still write about them in the same ways, often for the same magazines.
