Text Quotes
I’m looking for something new to believe in that isn’t the way people yearn at night in the city.  (City Quotes) In Barcelona, things seem so different. For example, I know that it’s traditionally the least Spanish city, but you’d never know they had a monarchy, coming here as a tourist - as opposed to the U.K., where the Queen is probably the best-known animal, vegetable and/or mineral going when it comes to overseas visitors.  (City Quotes) Whitney Houston rear-ended a city bus with her sports car, but no one was hurt. She said she didn’t know what happened. One minute she was concentrating on the big white line, and the next, boom!  (City Quotes) You probably know the name of Rosa Parks. You probably know that her refusal to move to the colored section in the back of a city bus sparked the Montgomery bus boycotts, one of the pivotal moments in the American civil rights movement.  (City Quotes) When you jump on a city bus or roam the streets off the major thoroughfares you’ll quickly learn that we have as many differences as similarities. And therein lie the greatest opportunities for innovation - our different ways of viewing the world and coming up with solutions!  (City Quotes) When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.  (City Quotes) From my first days in Washington D.C., where I rolled a whole four downtown blocks without seeing a single shop, cafe, bar or restaurant I could not access, to the beautifully accessible buses in New York City, I was in heaven.  (City Quotes) The year the bus drivers went on strike in Pittsburgh, I was twenty-three and living on the edge of the city in a neighborhood that was on the verge of becoming a ghetto. I had just been fired from a good job as a cartographer in a design studio where I had worked for about four months.  (City Quotes) In Toronto, I grew up taking a subway, I grew up taking a bus. I spent my formative adult years in New York City, walking the streets, taking the subway. You’re connected to the larger whole. L.A. is so spread out, and you’re so incubated inside those cars and it’s so exhausting to deal with the traffic, without really having the human contact.  (City Quotes) I grew up, as I joke around, in the ‘People’s Republic of Charlestown’ in the city of Boston. And I was blessed to be raised right there on Monument Square in Charlestown, and every morning I’d hop on the bus and go on a 45-minute ride out to the suburbs in Brooklyn for elementary school. And I got to have my seat, really, in both worlds.  (City Quotes) People have got to show up, showing up at meetings, rallies, marches, City Council, courtrooms. You’ve got to show up.  (City Quotes) If the City Council wants to hold the police accountable, it has the subpoena power and oversight responsibility to do so. They don’t have the courage to do it.  (City Quotes) When I grew up, and I think about City Council, I look at the men and women then - these were people who just wanted to be a part of the community and give something back. They weren’t necessarily trying to use it as a steppingstone to something else. I looked up to those people.  (City Quotes) Rather than hearing from the city council president, you’d hear from sources all across the country.  (City Quotes) Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those - but it’s really important who’s mayor and who’s on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.  (City Quotes) I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over losing the city council seat. I don’t know how that happened. But it was less than 1 percent out of 50,000 votes. I’d put in six or seven years into changing L.A.  (City Quotes) I’ve been talking to people all over the country, city council members, grassroots leaders, party leaders, members in Congress - and you know what? The truth is I’ll have something to say real soon.  (City Quotes) It would be nice if areas could be revitalised - like places in the U.S. such as Pittsburgh, for example, which have been transformed through shale. There you have shiny cars in a shiny city because of the development of shale in an old industrial heartland.  (City Quotes) There are few jobs in the world that are more fun than being the head of Urban Development for a great and thriving city.  (City Quotes) New York was no mere city. It was instead an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and perishable dream itself.  (City Quotes) When I moved to New York City in 1965, I wanted to be in theater. I was following my Ethel Barrymore dream. But I was too young to be Ethel.  (City Quotes) I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality.  (City Quotes) The newspapers were against me. They were telling me that the Australian dream was a home. But that dream became worse and worse as they had to live further away from the city. My dream became better as we could build higher and higher.  (City Quotes) I like sundresses with cowboy boots, little shorts with big wedge heels and a big piece of turquoise. I also love classic, Old Hollywood romantic styles. I’m ‘country girl meets city girl’ circa 1930.  (City Quotes) Well, I was born in Miami, and then I lived for a long time in Tallahassee, and before that, Winter Haven, which is a tiny town in Florida. I was not a city girl.  (City Quotes) I’m a city girl and I never really lived in the country, so I’m learning about that  (City Quotes) I was 11 years old and horse-obsessed. New York City was an unfortunate place for a girl like me to be growing up.  (City Quotes) I went to state in track, won the girls’ city championship, and did well in volleyball. I was a varsity cheerleader. So you know, shoot, I’ve got a couple of letters and things! Last I counted, I think there were eight in my mama’s house.  (City Quotes) City government can and must help San Franciscans prepare for emergencies in order to avoid tragedy where possible and minimize loss of life and property when emergencies occur.  (City Quotes) I’m one who demands a lot from people. I’m not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That’s what I’ve done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.  (City Quotes)
