[The drama shows Margaret performing a sex act and also features her in a lesbian kiss. Another scene shows her smoking] a strange cigarette ... in the late Fifties and early Sixties when she was absolutely the most glamorous public female figure in a (Princess) Diana-like way in her own era and then it all went a bit wrong.
Kevin Lygo
The Sixties were an oyster decade: slippery, luxurious and reportedly aphrodisiac they slipped down the historical throat without touching the sides.
Julian Barnes
The Beatles seem to me to be very much of their time (although I realize they do enjoy a remarkable enduring popularity). But I, and most of my friends with whom I've discussed this, associate them strongly with the sixties, and with the intense societal changes of that time.
Steve Swallow
Most politicized, open and most horrific political assassination in the Sixties.

[LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - If you enjoyed the Kent State shootings, the lies about us winning in the Vietnam jungles,] Alice's Restaurant, ... The Sixties: The Years That Shaped a Generation.
Daniel Ellsberg
It's the place where my prediction from the sixties finally came true: 'In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.' I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, 'In fifteen minutes everybody will be famous.'
Andy Warhol
I'm so over-earnest sometimes. But my parents were pop-culture icons in the Sixties, and my mom has this Oscar, and I was trying to figure out, how am I going to leave my mark?
Sean Astin
I grew up in the Sixties, when the music was very open, ... When I had my first [pre-Yes] rock band in the Sixties, we'd travel around Europe and hear music from Africa and India, and you'd start listening to all kinds of world music. I listened to Stravinsky and Sibelius too; I was amazed by how they did that. In the Seventies that all came out in pop-rock music.
The Jerusalem
For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part.
Jerry Garcia
One thing I am very glad of is that I went through the sixties. People who didn't really don't know what they missed. We pushed a certain consciousness, a way of life and it was exciting - no AIDS, people weren't dying so much from drug abuse and it was truly a time of freedom and change.
Lemmy Kilmister
One night in the early sixties I passed something on the Long Island Expressway just before the Queens tunnel that I must have seen for years. The billboard advertising cigars, Dutch Masters.

Larry Rivers
I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a ''learning experience.'' Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a ''learning experience.'' It makes me feel less stupid.
P. J. O'Rourke
During the Sixties, the Americans thought I was the greatest thing in the history of cinema.
Michael Winner
Remember when you used to watch TV in the Sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock'n'roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.
Neil Young
