Streets Quotes

After the assassination of my wife, our nation was perilously close to civil strife. If I, as the co-chairman of the Party, had asked my people to take to the streets, the very existence of the federation would have been threatened Picture Quote #1

You don’t make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is bullshit and you know it Picture Quote #1

When things could’ve gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we’d be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you’re kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law Picture Quote #1

...when I was a kid, Toronto streets were deserted and quiet on Sundays, except for the sound of church bells I stood on the sidewalk one December listening to the Christmas bells - I’ve never forgotten that moment Picture Quote #1

Don’t feel you have to stick to plans, because something better might come up; and try to blend in, because you see more. I’ve learnt that the principles of moving around a big city are the same everywhere; only the people and streets are different Picture Quote #1

I did a short film at Outfest, ‘Where Are the Dolls,’ based on an Elizabeth Bishop poem done, where I play this woman who is sort of walking the streets and ends up alone dancing in a club. I have this hot and heavy scene with a very beautiful actress. It became very popular Picture Quote #1

That old ball and chain had me chained up for weeks, So of course I’m off the chain as soon as I hit the streets Picture Quote #1

Children used to be outside. Now the streets are empty. People are indoors looking at television or something Picture Quote #1

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them Picture Quote #1

If you wish to write well, study the life about you, life in the public streets Picture Quote #1

We should teach general ethics to both men and women, but sexual relationships themselves must not be policed. Sex, like the city streets, would be risk - free only in totalitarian regimes Picture Quote #1

Twentieth century Russian literature has produced nothing special except perhaps one novel and two stories by Andrei Platonov, who ended his days sweeping streets Picture Quote #1

I am not quite sure what the advantage is in having a few more dollars to spend if the air is too dirty to breathe, the water too polluted to drink, the commuters are losing out in the struggle to get in and out of the city, the streets are filthy, and the schools so bad that the young perhaps wisely stay away, and the hoodlums roll citizens for some of the dollars they saved in the tax cut Picture Quote #1

The majestic equality of the law, which forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread Picture Quote #1

Though times have changed, it's a nice surprise to see that youthful feeling of anti-war sentiment returning once more to the cobbled main streets of Europe Picture Quote #1

I’m in prison. But my heart and mind is free. Gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. They need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do the marching down the streets, jumping in front of the lines and holding hands... that wasn’t me Picture Quote #1

Child welfare ought really to cover all sorts of topics, such as better water and sanitation and good roads, and clean streets and public parks and playgrounds Picture Quote #1

When I write stories I am like someone who is in her own country, walking along streets that she has known since she was a child, between walls and trees that are hers Picture Quote #1

That’s why I was out in the streets. To make sure no one else was there Picture Quote #1

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see are the dreams all made solid are the dreams all made real Picture Quote #1

It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn Picture Quote #1

I’ve walked these streets, in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me. Have I been blind? Have I been lost, inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? I’ve walked these streets, in a spectacle of wealth and poverty. In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me Picture Quote #1

Why is it that my heart is so touched whenever I meet a dog lost in our noisy streets? Why do I feel such anguished pity when I see one of these creatures coming and going, sniffing everyone, frightened, despairing of even finding its master? Picture Quote #1

I’ve been called to the slums of the streets and the ditches of the world Picture Quote #1

People with mental illnesses are dying on our streets. More than 350,000 are in jails and prisons. Most are people whose only real crime is they got sick Picture Quote #1

You can be alone too in the city streets, among the crowds. We are all alone Picture Quote #1

I want to create a cat like the real cats I see crossing the streets, not like those you see in houses. They have nothing in common. The cat of the streets has bristling fur. It runs like a fiend, and if it looks at you, you think it is going to jump in your face Picture Quote #1

Jail and the streets go hand in hand. You can’t have one with out the other. They coincide Picture Quote #1

Curiosity ran unchecked through him, like the wind outside through the deserted streets, along the canal, around the little wooden houses, everywhere, as far as the mountain Picture Quote #1
