Streets Quotes

We learn about one another’s culture the same way we learn about sex: in the streets Picture Quote #1

When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses Picture Quote #1

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me. Music education and families are dealing with the economic times, and I wanted to help them. If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing Picture Quote #1

I will meet you in the dirtiest city you can dream of. We will drink cocktails so sweet they pucker our cheeks, as we perch on cracked leather bar stools. I will buy you plates of calcium and protein and we will run through the streets in excellent danger Picture Quote #1

When I walked down the streets, I asked myself, are these my people?, is this my hometown, am I who I am? Picture Quote #1

It was true that the city could still throw shadows filled with mystifying figures from its past, whose grip on the present could be felt on certain strange days, when the streets were dark with rain and harmful ideas Picture Quote #1

I am like a survivor of the flood walking through the streets drenched with God surprised that all of the drowned victims are still walking and talking Picture Quote #1

Even on the poorest streets people could be heard laughing. Some of these streets were completely dark, like black holes, and the laughter that came from who knows where was the only sign, the only beacon that kept residents and strangers from getting lost Picture Quote #1

Write a lot and hit the streets. A writer who doesn’t keep up with what’s out there ain’t gonna be out there Picture Quote #1

I laced my shoes with sorrow and walked a weary road dead end streets don’t come undone with double knots wing tipped shoes that walk on air through vacant lots Picture Quote #1

He suddenly became convinced that if he didn’t do something sensible, something to put his mind to some use, then before he knew it he would be wondering round the streets having fights with himself and inviting domestic animals to social occasions too Picture Quote #1

Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. Let my tax money go for the protection of me. Protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property... worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life Picture Quote #1

Pop and metal aren’t friends. Each knows exactly where the other lives and tries to keep its distance. They choose different streets, neighborhoods, zip codes Picture Quote #1

People fear anyone who differs from what is considered normal, and in a small town the idea of normal can be as narrow as the streets Picture Quote #1

Girls took to dressing like boys, and though women had obtained the vote, we had swiftly moved on to pursuing flashier freedoms: necking in cars and smoking cigarettes and walking down city streets in flesh colored stockings Picture Quote #1

Take me with you. I want a doomed love. I want streets at night, wind and rain, no one wondering where I am Picture Quote #1

In his face there came to be a brooding peace that is seen most often in the faces of the very sorrowful or the very wise. But still he wandered through the streets of the town, always silent and alone Picture Quote #1

Day, the boy from the streets with nothing except the clothes on his back and the earnestness in his eyes, owns my heart. He is beauty, inside and out. He is the silver lining in a world of darkness. He is my light Picture Quote #1

As a rule, dictatorships guarantee safe streets and terror of the doorbell. In democracy the streets may be unsafe after dark, but the most likely visitor in the early hours will be the milkman Picture Quote #1

Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom Picture Quote #1

Hundreds, thousands, aye, millions of human beings, men, women and children, wander the streets of our cities and the highways of our country, hungry, ragged and cold, vainly seeking in this land of plenty, where physical want should be unknown Picture Quote #1

I still do not understand why we don’t have people on the streets every single day raising their voices for climate Picture Quote #1

People might not protest for overtly political or social causes, but when they can’t feed themselves and their family, they will take to the streets Picture Quote #1

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

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to move or act like a rich man. I wanted to dance in a pair of jeans. I wanted to dance like the man in the streets Picture Quote #1

Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible Picture Quote #1

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

Why should the wealth of the country be stored in banks and elevators while the idle workman wanders homeless about the streets and the idle loafers who hoard the gold only to spend it on riotous living are rolling about in fine carriages from which they look out on peaceful meetings and call them riots? Picture Quote #1

Poetry is my understanding with the world, my intimacy with things, my participation in what is real, my engagement with voices and images. This is why a poem speaks not of ideal life but of actual life: the angle of a window; the reverberation of streets, cities, rooms; shadows along a wall Picture Quote #1
