“I heard one presidential candidate say that what this country needed was a president for the nineties. I was set to run again. I thought he said a president IN his nineties.”
― Ronald Reagan, Speaking My Mind: Selected Speeches

“The Female Orgasm. The Big O. That elusive, reclusive Loch Ness of the labia. Does it prove the existence of God, or just His twisted sense of humor?”
― Kirstie Collins Brote, Beware of Love in Technicolor

“People listen to music for different reasons. Some people, -its background music鈥� but other people need it to survive. Other people need music to get things out and maybe that鈥檚 just where I鈥檓 coming from, you know, when things weren鈥檛 easy for me, growing up. You know, music, I felt, saved my life. Pete Townshend, wherever you are, Pete, you saved my life. You know, whether he knows it or not. I wouldn鈥檛 be here. And I had absolutely nothing else besides music. And so that鈥檚 still, you know, that鈥檚 in me, and so if we鈥檙e gonna play, if we鈥檙e gonna get up and play, or write a song, you know, write about something that means something. You know, why write about, you know, 'Oh, pretty day', or, 'Pretty girl' or 'Pretty people', there鈥檚 nothing鈥� people have different reasons for listening and playing. I need to 鈥攆or me-, it鈥檚 much more.. religious!”
― Eddie Vedder

“Our first kiss was there on the bridge in the woods. How do you describe a first kiss? It is like trying to hold water in your hands. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that compares kissing to drinking salted water. 鈥淵ou drink, and your thirst increases,鈥� it says. Time, I鈥檓 sure, passed by, but we remained unavailable for comment.”

“If the seventies were bulbous, and the eighties sharp, the nineties were nothing but bogus.”
― Will Self, How the Dead Live

“For reasons both explicable and debatable, Xers complained less pedantically than the demographic they followed and less vehemently than the demographic that came next.”
― Chuck Klosterman, The Nineties

“In the nineties, doing nothing on purpose was a valid option, and a specific brand of cool became more important than almost anything else. The key to that coolness was disinterest in conventional success. The nineties were not an age for the aspirant.”
― Chuck Klosterman, The Nineties

“The dining hall in our section of campus was like something out of an Ayn Rand novel: big, utilitarian, and impersonal.”
― Kirstie Collins Brote, Beware of Love in Technicolor

“I've been watching Buffy on my laptop. I'm at the end of season two where the instructions for restoring Angel's soul have been saved onto a floppy disk, but Willow's lost the floppy disk down the side of a desk, so Angel's not going to get his soul back in time and Buffy will end up having to kill him. It's such a dumb reason for a vampire to have to die---just a stupid yellow floppy disk, and the fact that a desk and a cabinet aren't pushed close enough together. If it were today, the instructions would have worked out fine.”
― Claire Kohda, Woman, Eating

“Shy said It's our music, coming out of our shit towns, it's not from Staten Island or Seattle or Detroit, it's from Walsall and Watford.

Shaun and his mate Andy burst out laughing and Andy did a squeaky voice and said Fwom Wycombe and Weading and... Wochdale and Shy said Fuck off Andy, and Shaun said Argh man, learn to take a joke, yeah?”
― Max Porter, Shy

“The nineties were a fertile period for the self-indulgent genius.”
― Chuck Klosterman, The Nineties

“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

“The way Richie saw it, something had happened to mainstream music during the post-grunge phase of the 鈥�90s and so far this year鈥檚 releases had been the most vapid of the lot, save for a few that maybe had some artistic expression if you listened hard enough (and excluding the Chili Peppers record, which ruled). Corporate major labels and MTV had joined forces in a union of evil to destroy all semblance of art from the world and churn the charred remains鈥攏ot art anymore but products鈥攖hrough a dollar factory of unfettered capitalism, squeezing out the big bucks as quickly as possible before the whole crazy ride comes to a screaming, bloody end. Which it would. All of this would come to a tragic end; the whole western world had gone mad, taking mindless consumerism to dizzying new heights as most of the East scrambled to get in on the action. Meanwhile, people like him and Alabama slip through the cracks and no one in this apathetic hellhole gives a shit, too busy patching over the vacancies of their lives in desperate attempts to forget the dreams they abandoned when they sold out to the machine. Of course he and Alabama were junkies. Of course they were thieves. What choice did they have when you got right鈥�right鈥攄own to it? Their fates had been sealed when society had set itself upon this dark path, and there would be many more Richies and Alabamas to come so long as it stayed the course.”
― Philip Elliott

“The difference between her and her sister could be attributed to the fact that she came of age in the nineties, during the heyday of plaid and heroin, while her sister came of age in the 2000s, during the heyday of thongs and cocaine. That was when everything got a little chihuahua and started starring in its own show. That was when we saw the whole world鈥檚 waxed pussy getting out of a car, and said, more.”
― Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

“I've been watching Buffy on my laptop. I'm at the end of season two where the instructions for restoring Angel's soul have been saved onto a floppy disk, but Willow's lost the floppy disk down the side of a desk, so Angel's not going to get his soul back in time and Buffy will end up having to kill him. It's such a dumb reason for a vampire to have to die---just a stupid yellow floppy disk, and the fact that a desk and a cabinet aren't pushed close enough together. If it were today, the instructions would have been backed up to the cloud, so everything would have worked out fine.”

“My diary lay on the counter, a blast from the past with neon unicorns jumping over a bright rainbow spangled with stars. At thirteen I had loved that Lisa Frank diary with its luridly cheerful cover, its crisp lined pages just waiting to be filled with the dreams and aspirations of my young, idealistic heart.”
― Rachel Linden, The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie

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

“I have dealt with killahs before."
I study her face. She is not speaking figuratively.
Her dark eyes hold mine. "I told you where I came from."
I do some quick math. In the 90's, around the time my world was shattered by my father's death, Sierra Leone was brutalized by civil war. Mariama would have been a young adult, watching everything around her being blown to pieces. I learned it as a fact in a college classroom. Mariama lived it. How little thought I've given to the life of this woman I've come to depend on.”
― Virginia Hartman, The Marsh Queen

“Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.鈥� Matthew 21:22”
