Text Quotes
By tradition, Beijing is a city of walls, sheltering its intrigues and ambitions behind a series of concentric barriers from the Great Wall down to courtyard homes that draw sunlight only from the gardens at their core. (City Quotes)
Kabul is a walled city, which sounds romantic except the walls are pre-cast reinforced concrete blast barriers, 10 feet tall and 15 feet long and moved into place with cranes. The walls are topped with sandbags, and the sandbags are topped with guard posts from which gun barrels protrude. (City Quotes)
Occupy Wall Street was a disorganized movement without a clear focus and power base - essential in any successful revolution - but the message was clear: the divisions between those who are fortunate enough to enjoy city living as opposed to those who find it unbearable are too wide. (City Quotes)
San Francisco can no longer afford to be a city divided between downtown and neighborhoods, with a downtown that becomes a ghost town when workers go home for the evening. (City Quotes)
In 1968, the sanitation workers of Memphis tried to form a union. The city resisted. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to support them. That was where he lost his life. (City Quotes)
I grew up in the city. Both my mother and father were factory workers, and I loved the life in the ‘metro.’ Everybody saw me as a very urban guy. And I was. (City Quotes)
Disasters redistribute money from taxpayers to construction workers, from insurance companies to homeowners, and even from those who once lived in the destroyed city to those who replace them. It’s remarkable that this redistribution can happen so smoothly and quickly, with devastated regions reinventing themselves in a matter of months. (City Quotes)
In the 1970s in New York, everyone slept till noon. It was a grungy, dangerous, bankrupt city without normal services most of the time. The garbage piled up and stank during long strikes by the sanitation workers. A major blackout led to days and days of looting. The city seemed either frightening or risible to the rest of the nation. (City Quotes)
I always knew I would come to London. I loved Glasgow, but it seemed filled with echoes of my parents’ lives, and sometimes you just want a city of your own. (City Quotes)
I’d love to have our trains, our subway cars and our taxis built right here in New York City. You can create 40,000 living wage jobs... the city’s contracting power is huge. (City Quotes)
In the city of Pyongyang, you don’t have to look very far to see an image of the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. They love the guy. He is responsible for the wonder that is North Korea. (City Quotes)
It’s funny because I think it also goes very well with the show. It has this reputation as being this love city where everyone goes to get married, but when you get there, it’s very corny and tacky. (City Quotes)
We have a huge family history with Singapore because we have the duty-free shops in the airports. It’s a very industrious city. It’s beautiful, and Singaporeans have this wonderful desire for, and love of, luxury goods. You can see how well thought out and planned the city is with the best boutiques. (City Quotes)
You always spend a little more time watching the guys you coached, to see how they’re playing. And there’s no question that when I check scores, I still go to the Nuggets scorer faster than any other scores. I have a lot of love for the players and a lot of love for the city. (City Quotes)
No city owns me, you know what I’m saying? I’m from New York, but no city owns me. Nobody can bottle up my sound and box me in. Yes, I am a rapper, but am I a New York rapper? No. I am from New York, I love New York to death, but I will not conform myself to one place, no. (City Quotes)
The Society of American Civil Engineers, someone who’s going to come in and say to the public, we’ve looked at, we’ve examined, we’ve reviewed the repairs and we think they’re strong enough to withstand the type of hurricane that - that could hit the city this season. (City Quotes)
The form a city assumes as it evolves over time owes more to large-scale works of civil engineering - what we now call infrastructure - than almost any other factor save topography. (City Quotes)
As for civil liberties, any one who is not vigilant may one day find himself living, if not in a police state, at least in a police city. (City Quotes)
Marriage is a civil right. If you don’t want gay people to marry in your church, good for you. But you can’t say they can’t marry in your city. (City Quotes)
I want to reveal in a simple way the usual - and unusual - life of the city; the corporation workman, the busmen, policemen, the civil servants, the theatres, Moore Street and also, what occupies so large a place in Dublin’s life, the literary and artistic. (City Quotes)
For 25 years, it has been my privilege to represent the city of San Francisco and the great state of California; to work to strengthen our vibrant middle class; to secure opportunity and equality. (City Quotes)
Drugs and drinking affect every family I know, country and city, middle-class and poor (City Quotes)
If Music is a Place -- then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple. (City Quotes)
That’s our mission: to clean and green New York City - one block at a time (City Quotes)
Berlin is in a state of transition. There are lots of people who don’t stay here. They pass through. They might not ‘clean up,’ but they mature. It is a city where people spend a significant time in their lives, and then they move on. (City Quotes)
Toronto is a special city, and the environment is perfect for the arts; free and alive. I’m a New Yorker, and Toronto reminds me of a much cleaner New York, so it’s like coming home after your mom just cleaned your room for you; for me that’s a lovely environment. (City Quotes)
I probably get it trimmed once every two months or so. I’ve just been going to the salon in the city, and they’ll clean it up a bit. (City Quotes)
Only a man who has his health, a full stomach and wears clean clothes would ever entertain the notion of tracking down the greatest lost city on Earth. (City Quotes)
Back then, before it became clear that democracy was best served by a drunken electorate, the bars in New York City were required to close on Election Day. (City Quotes)
In the two million years during which we climbed from stone-tool-wielding Homo erectus with sloping brows to high-foreheaded Homo urbanis - man, the inventor of the city - we underwent 60 glaciations, 60 ice ages. (City Quotes)
