In the Seventies, we still had dreams and hopes of Utopia, but by the end of the decade, the world had shifted to the right.

The 1960s were really a life-changing time.

The '60s was a time of unthinkabilities.

People blame the 1960s for just about everything these days, but it was the decade when all that post-war furtiveness and small-mindedness was finally blown open, and opportunity really came knocking.

I don't really remember much about the '60s at all. You know, 1970 is the first year I remember pretty well.

I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

People get so tired of the '60s.

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

Here we were supposedly changing the world for the better in the Sixties, but as we get 40 years further down the line, we realise that some of those changes such as the drugs probably weren't all that great or sensible. It was all about social experiments.

I think in the '70s that there was a general feeling of chaos, a feeling that the idea of the '60s as 'ideal' was a misnomer. Nothing seemed ideal anymore. Everything seemed in-between.
