Grew Quotes

I grew up going to church three times a week in my family. It’s been a center of my life Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a family where, through my teenage years, I was expected to go to church on Sunday. It wasn’t terribly painful Picture Quote #1

I grew up Protestant. My dad was a Charismatic pastor of the Families of God denomination. Often, we noticed that - during a lot of his evangelistic-type services - that some of the Amish and Old Order Mennonite couples would come and stand across the street from the church and look in the door Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a somewhat religious family. My dad’s family isn’t religious at all, but my mom’s side of the family is, so I was exposed to church a bit Picture Quote #1

I grew up in eastern Kentucky, and we would sing in the churches, and there’s lots of good mountain church singers out there. Like a lot of folks who turn out to be secular music artists, that’s a lot of the training you put in, whether you know it or not Picture Quote #1

So many people grew up in the church, and you can have an awesome upbringing, but I made a personal conviction; I made a personal decision when I was very young. I enjoy going to church without my parents. On Sunday mornings, I want to go. Bible studies on Wednesdays... I have a relationship - not just through my parents Picture Quote #1

I grew up the son of a Seventh Day Adventist minister, so I was really close to the church and sang church music between sips at my bottle, you know? I sat on the piano bench next to my mother. She was the church organist, so that music is deeply inside of me Picture Quote #1

For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn’t something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time Picture Quote #1

I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school - even glee club Picture Quote #1

When I look back at the church I grew up in, I realise that nothing about its behaviour was very Christian. It was just a social club on Sundays where people would meet up with their mates Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Belle Harbor, which is in New York City, but it has the most powerful sense of nature and seasons. It wasn’t even the beach and the water. I just dreamt about everything that had to do with nature. I read about Thoreau Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur’s Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father’s spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild Picture Quote #1

I grew up in New York City in Greenwich Village and had parents who were somewhat bohemian so I was always on the nonconformist side of the equation Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Bulgaria in a small city on the Black Sea Coast, so I was very interested in the sea, marine life, and everything related to it. But it was also a very dark place at night, so I could see the stars. And I just got very interested in it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives with you. I don’t think it’s true of people who’ve grown up in cities so much; you may love a building, but I don’t think that you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth; it’s a different kind of love Picture Quote #1

I grew up in New York City, and both my parents worked. On weekends, we’d go out to the country, and on Sunday nights we’d come back. Sometimes we were a little cranky - it was a long drive. But we could always look forward to one thing: my mother’s ziti and meat sauce Picture Quote #1

The Illinois Constitution was written before they realized they’d have a city the size of Chicago in the state. The constitution had severe limits on the ability of any city to raise monies through taxes and bonds. When Chicago grew explosively, they had to come up with ways of getting more money to do more things Picture Quote #1

I grew up twelve miles outside of Montego Bay. In my early teens, I went to Kingston. It was like a different planet for me. In the country, people are kind. In the city, people are hard an’ cold, like the concrete and steel Picture Quote #1

As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it’s just total! It’s a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That’s what science fiction is about Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the city. Both my mother and father were factory workers, and I loved the life in the ‘metro.’ Everybody saw me as a very urban guy. And I was Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Minnesota, where we treasure our tradition of civic engagement - and our record of having the nation’s highest voter participation Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the 1960s in Memphis, and my father was a member of the American Civil Liberties Union. I was born three years before Martin Luther King was killed, and I think that history of civil action was something that I had in my blood Picture Quote #1

I had never read a book written by an African-American. I didn’t know that black people could write books. I didn’t know that blacks had done any great things. I was always conscious of my inferiority and I always remembered my place - until the Civil Rights Movement came to the town where I was born and grew up Picture Quote #1

If I grew up, you know, in the ghetto, like, and I wasn’t taught any other way to talk or a way to act or other food to eat or just like anything like that, like, when I’m I supposed to do? You know, like, is there a class I’m supposed to take to learn how to be white, you know? Picture Quote #1

I didn’t come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I’m proud of that Picture Quote #1

I was always the class clown; I made my family laugh, and that was when I was always happiest. I grew up listening to stand-up comedians’ albums and watching them on TV, on ‘The Tonight Show’ and Letterman Picture Quote #1
