Famous quotes related to crystal ball:
“If Los Angeles has been called ‘the capital of crackpots’ and ‘the metropolis of isms,’ the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
