City Quotes

What I love about jazz is that it’s full of legends, full of myths. It’s an oral history because it started in New Orleans and Kansas City, under the radar Picture Quote #1

New York is a fascinating city. I think it’s a very inspiring city, but it’s overpowering when you get older. It tires me now. But it’s wonderful for young people - very inspiring and full of surprises and full of ideas Picture Quote #1

I sat in at every club in New York City, jamming with musicians, because it felt right - and because it felt right and we were having fun - the people dancing and sipping their drinks in the clubs felt it too and it made them smile Picture Quote #1

Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny Picture Quote #1

You know what’s funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C. I went to George Washington University, and my nickname was K-Dub - based on G-Dub - and I’m now on the board of trustees at George Washington University Picture Quote #1

New York is a city with virtually no habitable public space - only private spaces expensively maintained within the general disaster Picture Quote #1

I have a consistent rule: The American people should know as much about the Pentagon as the Soviet Union and China do, as much about General Motors as Ford does, and as much about City Bank as Chase Manhattan does Picture Quote #1

I urge you to read the Occupy Manifesto, written by the New York City General Assembly. It is unavoidably clear. This is not directionless action. If it were, the media would have moved on Picture Quote #1

A city like London is sociable in a sense that there are people gathering in bars and restaurants, concerts and lectures. Yet you can partake of all these experiences and never say hello to anyone new. And one of the things that all religions do is take groups of strangers into a space and say it is OK to talk to each other Picture Quote #1

The particular feature of Berlin - well, all you need to do is look at the map: the geographical position of the city right in the heart of Europe, and the separation of the most powerful two blocs we’ve ever had in history, which went all the way through Germany Picture Quote #1

Look, I hate to sound like Pollyanna, but I literally can’t wait to get to work in the morning. I’ve got steady jobs, I’ve got my health, and I’m here in the greatest city in the world. I’d be a pig not to be grateful Picture Quote #1

No special suits for game days. I like to keep all my favorites in the mix. I’m always trying to look my best, even when I’m just visiting a city for eight hours and then getting back on a plane again Picture Quote #1

For 11 years, I was mayor of Tirana, our capital. We faced many challenges.

The ultimate [travel destination] for me would be one perfect day in San Francisco. There’s no city like it anywhere. And, if I could be there with the girl of my dreams, that would be the ultimate! Picture Quote #1

A dream my girlfriend and I have is to move to New York for a year or two because we just love the city. I would take some acting classes Picture Quote #1

As a city, it is always compelling. But every day in Mexico City, I give thanks that I am alive Picture Quote #1

If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation Picture Quote #1

Every sandwich I sold, the city got more sales tax, the state got more. But they came in and they would want to give me a ticket because I have a sign outside trying to get more business, right? Picture Quote #1

Many cities end up putting off things because they want to understand everything. They don’t understand that innovating is about starting. Taking care of a city is a process that you start, and then give the population space to respond Picture Quote #1

How prophetic L’Enfant was when he laid out Washington as a city that goes around in circles! Picture Quote #1

Everything seems to be going faster and faster. It’s really harder to create something that endures. The New York City Ballet has succeeded in doing that Picture Quote #1

When you spend a lot of money on one player, you want him to prove himself, but the way football works, one day you can be good, the next you can be bad, and the next after that, you can be very bad. I have come to Manchester City to work very hard and to help my friends make Manchester City great Picture Quote #1

New York City is a fascinating place because it’s very good at using the energy in attracting some of the best and the brightest from everywhere Picture Quote #1

America as did with Israel with its blessing has been turning away from God driving Him out of its public squares. Bring in idols in its place and calling what is evil good and what is good evil. ... The glory of the city on the hill is fading and America now stands in danger of impending judgment, and we all know it Picture Quote #1

Atlanta’s a good example of a city that’s quite sprawling, where there’s a sharp division between where blacks and whites live, between where low-income and high-income families live Picture Quote #1

When I’m doing shows I don’t need much from a city. All I’m looking for is a good meal and a decent spot to have a couple drinks Picture Quote #1

London grew into something huge and contradictory. It was a good place, and a fine city, but there is a price to be paid for all good places, and a price that all good places have to pay Picture Quote #1

When I talk about the city, I talk about a city that elevates people, which is the strength of New York. We always had the ability to do that. We had the services to do that: good schools, living-wage jobs. We’re moving away from that toward a two-tiered system: a small group of very wealthy people and the rest of the city, poor and working poor Picture Quote #1

I just like a dirty, crumbling city. The Gotham I imagine is enticing and horrifying at the same time Picture Quote #1

You look at Governor Romney’s record in the private sector, he helped turn businesses around. Certainly a decade ago he took what would have been an international disaster with the U.S. Olympics, and turned it around for America and made us great again with the Olympics in Salt Lake City Picture Quote #1
