What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life ...
J. William Fulbright
The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.
Cyril Connolly
In the 1960s all my social life was underground gay. It was my own life. I kept it separate from work, where I went on publicity dates with Annette Funicello or Roberta Shore.
Tommy Kirk
A friend of mine had this great theory about the "Teletubbies" (1997), that it`s preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. When they build the underground world because we can no longer breathe the air that ...

I did my first job as an actor and my first role was in 1978 in Rome. I did a play with an Italian actor named Victor Cavallo who worked with Bernardo Bertolucci. After that I was very much a part of the New York performance art and underground theater an...
Vincent Gallo
To me, that`s part of the creative process. I hate it when bands fall back and say, We`re underground; we don`t want to make money." Because it`s not really about making money; it`s about exposing everybody to what you`re doing. And I want to do that. It`...

In a house there is the top floor and there is the cellar. The underground filmmakers live in the same house as Hollywood, but they work in the cellar. It`s up to them if they like to live in the dark. The Hollywood filmmakers are more intelligent, becaus...

[on The Outpost (1995/I)]: "It was the best cast and the worst script. What can you do? The whole thing was us running around in some underground hallway, holding a stick with a syringe scotch-taped to it and chasing a long-haired body builder with this p...

By meeting people in Sarajevo I realized I had nothing to complain about--they`d lost children crossing the road trying to find water. I stopped thinking about my problems and would sit with women in underground places, singing songs.
Jane Birkin
When people say `What are underground comics?` I think the best way you can define them is just the absolute freedom involved... we didn`t have anyone standing over us.
Robert Crumb
When Nirvana was selling records they dangled this carrot in front of underground bands` noses saying well you can be good and a millionaire.
Kristin Hersh
When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. T...

When drugs came around I sampled them just like anybody else but I never became dependent creatively on drugs; like various cartoonists in the underground never did anything if they weren`t stoned, That was the prerequisite for sitting down and drawing.
Al Sinclair
We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!
Alvin Lee
Underground literature only began in the `70s, when technical developments made it possible. Before that, we were involved in a game with the censors. That was our struggle.
Andrea Bagley
Two problems that have beset London Underground for years -- poor project management and industrial relations -- have come together to close a whole line.
Roger Evans
Though gay lifestyles have certainly moved into the open, there`s little evidence that society has become more open in its basic attitudes or that entertainers should feel cozy in emerging from the velvet underground.
Peter Bart
This was born out of necessity, ... We wanted to have a certain size property and we only had so much land to work with. We realized we had to put the parking underground, so we came up with a plan and put it in place. When you look at the cost of an acre...

The thing about hip-hop is that it`s from the underground, ideas from the underbelly, from people who have mostly been locked out, who have not been recognized.
Russell Simmons
The petitioner was held in a sealed underground cell, with no windows and no way to escape the poison chemicals that were pumped into his cell (ostensibly to kill cockroaches.) The petitioner`s throat swelled up from the chemicals; he could not breathe. H...

The attacks carried out last week on London`s Underground rail and bus system during the morning rush hour were cowardly and aimed at innocents.
Alissa Czisny
Policy makers here in Washington vastly underestimate the destabilizing effect of this lucrative underground market. As long as there are billions of dollars at stake, you`ll always have people willing to get into the trade.
Barbara Sher
Now you`ve got Saddam in a position where he`s either been flushed or he`s been forced to go back [underground]. And if he`s been flushed, and if he`s running around every two hours as they say, then presumably he`s just a couple of steps ahead of the coa...
Joseph Wilson
It`s really a grand old, legendary theatre where the spirits of like Judy Garland and all these great performers have been. The clubs are way more underground.
Deborah Cox
One who is proud of ancestry is like a turnip; there is nothing good of him but that which is underground
