― Rob Sheffield, Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time

“94 was a good year to be twelve. Star Wars still had two more years as Box Office King, cartoons were still hand-drawn, and the Disney "D" still looked like a backwards "G." Words like "Columbine," "Al Qaeda" and "Y2K" were not synonymous with "terror," and 9-1-1 was an emergency number instead of a date. At twelve years old, summer still mattered. Monarch caterpillars still crawled beneath every milkweed leaf. Dandelions (or "wishes" as Mara called them) were flowers instead of pests. And divorce was still considered a tragedy. Before Mara, carnivals didn't make me sick.”
― Jake Vander Ark, The Accidental Siren

“Di dunia ini semua orang sibuk berkata-kata, tanpa pernah mendengar kata-kata orang lain.”
― Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Sepotong Senja untuk Pacarku

“Ahh the 90's I hated ye when I was in it, but I love it now that it's gone...”
― Allison B. Levine

“Abe said something interesting. He said that because everyone's so poor these days, the '90s will be a decade with no architectural legacy or style- everyone's too poor to put up new buildings. He said that code is the architecture of the '90s.”
― Douglas Coupland, Microserfs

“As the final decade of the millennium dawned, there would be no greater expression of the cultural, economic, and social revolutions to come than fashion. What rock 'n' roll was to the '50s, drugs to the '60s, film to the '70s, and modern art to the '80s, fashion was to the '90s: the fuse, then the filter.”
― Maureen Callahan, Champagne Supernovas: Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and the '90s Renegades Who Remade Fashion

“Maybe they were in some kind of secret society. Something mega embarrassing. It was the nineties, right? What was embarrassing in the nineties?"
"Uh. Everything?”
― Emma Lord, You Have a Match

“That was 1993 grunge in suburbia. This was 2003 hell in Harlem. (Dark City Lights)”
― Eve Kagan

“Novelists,鈥� said Ivo, 鈥榓re to the nineties what cooks were to the eighties, hairdressers to the seventies and pop-stars to the sixties鈥� Merely, you know, an expression of the Zeitgeist, Nobody actually reads novels any more, but it鈥檚 a fashionable thing to be a novelist 鈥� as long as you don鈥檛 entertain people of course. I sometimes think,鈥� said Ivo, his eyes like industrial diamonds, 鈥榯hat my sole virtue is, I鈥檓 the only person in London who has no intention of writing any kind of novel, ever.”
― Amanda Craig, A Vicious Circle

“In Miami the obsession with making things work and being practical, with making lots of money, sometimes out of the fear of starving, has replaced a sense of life and, above all, of pleasure, adventure, and irreverence.”
― Reinaldo Arenas, Before Night Falls

“Ani DiFranco or Ani, as she is universally know to her fans, was, to a certain kind of white, middle-class woman, girl power in the purest sense. At twenty, she founded her own record label, Righteous Babe. She's released dozens of albums (and has sold over four million copies), had a baby, documented her life on the road, and opened for Bob Dylan.”
― Marisa Meltzer, Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music

“Anna Wintour hadn't been to any of McQueen's shows, and McQueen didn't like it. McQueen said American Vogue could borrow the dress only if they flew it to New York and back, in its own seat, with an escort. It was a fuck-you and they took it, and the dress was shot by Richard Avedon. "Fashion people haven't got any brains," McQueen said.”
― Maureen Callahan

“The lack of distinction between the real and the virtual is the obsession of our age. Everything in our current affairs attests to this, not to mention the big cinematic productions: The Truman Show, Total Recall, Existenz, Matrix, etc.
This question has always been there behind literature and philosophy, but it has been present metaphorically, as it were, implicitly, through the filter of discourse. The 'encoding/decoding' of reality was done by discourse, that is to say, by a highly complex medium, never leaving room for a head-on truth.
The encoding/decoding of our reality is done by technology. Only what is produced by this technical effect acquires visible reality. And it does so at the cost of a simplification that no longer has anything to do with language or with the slightest ambivalence and which, therefore, puts an end to this subtle lack of distinction between the real and the virtual, as subtle as the lack of distinction between good and evil. Through special effects, everything acquires an operational self-evidence, a spectacular reality that is, properly speaking, the reign of simulation. What the directors of these films have not realized (any more than the simulationist artists of New York in the eighties) is that simulation is a hypothesis, a game that turns reality itself into one eventuality among others.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories V: 2000 - 2004

“I enjoy looking like a tart.
And thinking like a politician.”
― P.J. Harvey, TO BRING YOU MY LOVE by P.J. HARVEY [Korean Imported]

“There are lots of gay and lesbian actors who are very secretive about their sexuality. Things leak out, but you never know for sure. Maybe the nineties will change some of that.”
― Ellen Hart

“What Kate wore, whether on the street or the red carpet was much cooler to them than what she modelled. Her paparazzi photos were becoming indistinguishable from her editorials.”
― Maureen Callahan, Champagne Supernovas: Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and the '90s Renegades Who Remade Fashion

“I think of myself as a political idiot. Idiot, in ancient Greece, denoted a common person without access to knowledge and information--all women, by definition, and most men. I am unable to make judgments. I see no options I can identify with. Is that normal?”
― Jasmina Te拧anovi膰, The Diary of a Political Idiot: Normal Life in Belgrade

“It was probably the stupid glasses. How were you supposed to see anything wearing mirrored sunglasses underground? Any they were so nineties, they weren't even retro yet.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Algo deb铆a de haber en el agua de Jap贸n durante la d茅cada de los 90鈥檚, para que obras del calibre argumental y filos贸fico de Neon Genesis Evangelion o Serial Experiments Lain viesen la luz en tan corto per铆odo hist贸rico.”
― Byron Rizzo

“Kids are calling the 1990s the late 1900s. Just sayin.”

“Are you ready to present your book reports?鈥� Miss Shindling asked.
The classroom erupted with sounds鈥攃hairs scraping, Trapper-Keepers being opened, papers being rustled, throats being cleared.”
― R.L. Stine, My Hairiest Adventure

“Les aspirations accumul茅es de tout un pays, immerg茅 depuis des d茅cennies dans la s茅nescente torpeur communiste, convergeaient ici. Et au centre il n鈥檡 avait pas la culture, comme le croyaient les intellectuels convaincus d鈥檋茅riter du sceptre et qui n鈥檃vaient rien h茅rit茅 du tout. Au centre, il y avait la t茅l茅vision.”
― Giuliano da Empoli, Le Mage du Kremlin

“...c鈥檈st nous qui, dans cette phase, avons reconstruit l鈥檌maginaire collectif du pays. Toutes les autres institutions s鈥櫭﹖ant 茅croul茅es, c鈥櫭﹖ait 脿 la t茅l茅vision d鈥檌ndiquer le chemin.”
― Giuliano da Empoli, Le Mage du Kremlin
