Los Angeles was the kind of place where everybody was from somewhere else and nobody really droppped anchor. It was a transient place. People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare. Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary. Figuratively, literally, metaphorically -- any way you want to look at it -- everbody in L.A. keeps a bag packed. Just in case. ↗

But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime.

Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all. ↗
