Peter Max Quotes

It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.

I think, at first blush, the '60s always enticed me. There's something about the '60s, it's not hard to like it.

I disliked everything about the '60s.

The '60s aren't over; they won't be over until the Fat Lady gets high.

The '60s are presented to kids today as a commodity.

The whole 1960s thing was a ten-year running party, which was lovely. It started at the end of the 1950s and sort of faded a bit when it became muddled with flower power. It was marvelous.

They say if you remember the '60s, you weren't there. Well I remember the '60s, I was there and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

To talk about the '60s almost brings tears to my eyes. What we did. What we all did. We changed the world.

The 1960s were really a life-changing time.

Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong year - I think it would have been cool to be alive in the '60s.

The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.

I'm a child of the Sixties.

I would say that we have not completely cracked the code of the '60s. We are still finding our way through that time.

I grew up in the 1970s, and my friends and I felt very keenly that we had missed the '60s. We were bummed out about it.

Let's face it, us '60s folks had pretty high expectations.

I am of that '60s generation, and for people of my age, that phrase 'change the world' has a real resonance.

I think the '60s were an extraordinary time. I feel bad for the kids today who missed this wonderful confluence, which was simultaneously a confluence of the global and the mythological.

Most of my memories of the Sixties are ones of optimism, high spirits and confidence.

I think the sixties must have been quite a lot of fun.

I was born in 1952, so obviously the sixties were important. That's when I came of age. It was also a revolutionary period, a complete break with the generation before us in terms of culture, literature, music, and in politics, of course. 1968 was an important year; I was 16, and the world became clear to me, visible, so to say.

Those Laurel Canyon days were great. I have a real fondness for that era, 'til about '68. Musically, it was wonderful, and there was this great innocence, an idyllic view of the world. After that, everything got a little... edgy.

I was very, very lucky to spend my youth during the '60s.

I was 21 in 1968, so I'm as much a child of the '60s as is possible to be. In those years the subject of religion had really almost disappeared; the idea that religion was going to be a major force in the life of our societies, in the West anyway, would have seemed absurd in 1968.
