Text Quotes
I remember my own life as a small boy, son of Jewish immigrants, in a janitor’s flat on Orchard and Stanton streets on the Lower East Side of New York City. My father made pants and doubled as janitor of a tenement - before he made janitoring at $30 a month, plus rooms, a career.  (East Quotes) Ira [Gershwin] was the shyest, most diffident boy we had ever known. In a class of Lower East Side rapscallions, his soft-spoken gentleness and low-keyed personality made him a lovable incongruity. He spoke in murmurs, hiding behind a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles. Ira had a kid brother who wore stiff high collars, shirts with cuffs and went out with girls.  (East Quotes) I made my performance debut in New York City downtown on the Lower East Side in college doing awkward performance art as a go-go dancer at Lady Starlight’s Party. And I never thought that my love for mediocre performance art and bad mime would ever come to use in my career as an actor. But my fantasies came true and I got to play Maureen in Rent.  (East Quotes) Vicksburg lies on top of a bluff on the east side of a large tongue of land jutting out into the Mississippi.  (East Quotes) I grew up in the east side of Detroit in an area where there was very little, except for a lot of scarcity, poverty and hunger. I never woke up saying, ‘I’m an orphan again today, isn’t this terrible? Poor me.’  (East Quotes) I did not know at the time, but what I did at that swimming pool [on the east side of Wilmington] paved the way for Barack Obama.  (East Quotes) I could’ve shot the whole East Village, because it was and is my neighborhood. But Seventh Street is precious to me.  (East Quotes) I remember being unemployed and walking the East Village streets for many years, constantly checking my voice mail on pay phones, hoping for an audition.  (East Quotes) I’m lucky to live in New York, a city that offers so many options for lunch. I can pick up dumplings from a Midtown food truck, grab empanadas by the dozen in Spanish Harlem or get a fantastic bowl of ramen in the East Village.  (East Quotes) I grew up in the East Village with a lot of old people in my building, and I’m not sure if they lost their sense of smell over the years, but they always seemed to smell like they poured a bottle of perfume on themselves. I never want to become that person.  (East Quotes) I’m grateful for a lot of things. One is not being a drunk wreck. Or losing all four limbs in some ridiculous East Village bus accident that I was so destined for.  (East Quotes) In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri - where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.  (East Quotes) Well the most likely emerging countries are Japan, Turkey, and Poland. So I would say Eastern Europe, the Middle East and a maritime war by Japan with the United States enjoying its own pleasures.  (East Quotes) This administration, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton through their foreign policy, have betrayed the American people, because the weakness they’ve displayed has led to Putin’s incursions in the Middle East and in eastern Europe, and has led - has led to significant problems in the Middle East as well, and the death and murder of lots of folks.  (East Quotes) Having grown up in the Middle East, eating beans for breakfast always seemed like a bizarre British eccentricity.  (East Quotes) I don’t know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it’s the right of every human being.  (East Quotes) The way the world is going, it’s technology driven. And it isn’t just driven by the old super powers, it’s driven by the far east and new emerging economies.  (East Quotes) As long as the United States - and the world - gets its oil from the Middle East, we will be drawn into the endless crises that seem endemic to the region. American energy independence would not only liberate us, it would also drive down the worldwide price of oil.  (East Quotes) The U.S. now imports over half of its oil supply from the Middle East. This dangerous dependence on foreign energy sources is an issue of national security.  (East Quotes) Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music.  (East Quotes) It’s really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.  (East Quotes) Imagine - four years you could have spent travelling around Europe meeting people, or going to the Far East of Africa or India, meeting people, exchanging ideas, reading all you wanted to anyway, and instead I wasted it at Roosevelt.  (East Quotes) People expect me to be that guy. But I’m more east London boy than east Baltimore.  (East Quotes) Despite the hundreds of non-governmental organizations and the continued outpouring of foreign aid, East Africa remains as a region overwhelmed by extreme poverty.  (East Quotes) East and Gulf Coast states are at risk of hurricanes; prairie and other central and southern states are constantly threatened by tornados; and western states commonly face damaging droughts. Extreme weather does not discriminate by American geography.  (East Quotes) We have spent, right now, $6 trillion in the Middle East, and America is falling apart. It’s not right.  (East Quotes) The Middle East is the only region in the world outside of sub-Saharan Africa where rates of malnutrition actually rose over the past decade or two, instead of falling.  (East Quotes) When I get some time off, I like to go back to my roots in the North East. My family have been around Northumberland for five generations.  (East Quotes) The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.  (East Quotes) California club pop chirper Dev’s debut is as stark as it is sweet. This is owed partly to the casually giddy lightness of her talk-singing - familiar from her slizzered 2010 cameo on Far East Movement’s smash ‘Like a G6,’ and around-the way-girl frisky like 1980s Latin freestyle.  (East Quotes)
