About this Quote

This quote by Frank Lloyd Wright is a humorous method of saying that Los Angeles is a melting pot of individuals and cultures. It implies that if you were to tip the world over, all individuals and things that are not firmly rooted in one place would end up in Los Angeles. This might be interpreted as a metaphor for the diversity of the city, as it is home to people from all over the world. It might likewise be translated as a commentary on the short-term nature of the city, as many people pertain to Los Angeles looking for a much better life or to pursue their dreams. The quote is a pointer that Los Angeles is a location of chance and that it is a location where people from all strolls of life can come together and discover success.
