Like many other touchstones of twenty-first-century pop culture, 'The Sopranos' was hatched in the late Nineties, predicting a future that never arrived. It was designed for a decade that would be just like the Nineties, except more so, in an America that enjoyed seeing itself as smarter and braver and freer than ever before.

Rob Sheffield

If the past decade was the decade of searching and finding and looking for stuff, this coming decade is going to be the decade of filtering and going to your friends for recommendations.

Esther Dyson

Ecstasy is our very nature, not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is real hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against the nature.

Rajneesh

We also have to acknowledge that there are Millennials who don't know of the Clintons of the nineties, and we've always suspected that once they found out that... I mean, Bill Clinton's behavior was celebrated by Democrats in the nineties. Even by the feminazis!

Rush Limbaugh

[On Philadelphia society:] The parties remind me of the Gay Nineties -- the men are gay and the women are in their nineties.

Alice-Leone Moats

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

I really like the Nineties! I want to bring back more of the Nineties, like the 'Spice Girls', 'Empire Records', Chloe Sevigny. I don't think anyone really gave it enough credit.

Poppy Delevingne

Can you imagine having a love affair going on and on decade after decade? Macabre.

Gore Vidal

I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.

Charles Durning

I keep showing decade after decade that I am a real performer.

Patti LaBelle

Each decade, I've lived in that decade, so I could easily shed the '20s, the '30s, the '40s.

Francesca Annis

You can't segregate and humiliate people decade after decade without creating long-lasting injuries.

Bryan Stevenson

I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the decade beginning January 1, 1990, as the Decade of the Brain.

George H. W. Bush

I live a very international life, but when I come back to Hollywood, a town I love in a lot of ways, I have to wonder, "What decade are you in? Like, seriously, what decade? It's not this one."

Rose McGowan

I thought Everything Ecstatic was the happiest of them all - hence the "ecstatic" name. The whole concept behind that was total out-and-out euphoric mania. I think tracks like "Smile Around The Face" are the jolliest things I've ever done, really. But one of the things I like about my music is the fact that it's instrumental, so there are no lyrics to guide people.

Kieran Hebden

The whole period of the '60s changed a lot of us; there was never a decade like that in American history... to have the decade capture one of the great accomplishments of this century: man landing on the moon.

Walter Cronkite
