Text Quotes
In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well.  (Neighborhood Quotes) The environment is the most important, the most fundamental, civil-rights issue.... Four out of every five toxic-waste dumps in America is in a black neighborhood.  (Neighborhood Quotes) We were the only black family in my neighborhood for many years. Wherever we lived, we were often the only black family, and certainly the only Haitian family. But my parents were really great at providing a loving home where we could feel safe and secure.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I feel like my life experience is that of an outsider. Let me explain: my parents are from Panama, and they moved to the United States the year after I was born. They moved into an all-white neighborhood, where the previous black family had a cross burned on their lawn.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I would say I’m black because my parents said I’m black. I’m black because my mother’s black. I’m black because I grew up in a family of all black people. I knew I was black because I grew up in an all-white neighborhood. And my parents, as part of their protective mechanisms that they were going to give to us, made it very clear what we were.  (Neighborhood Quotes) Playing rock ‘n’ roll music, it’s going to be integrated, but being black you didn’t want to go into some neighborhood where you weren’t wanted.  (Neighborhood Quotes) Reggie Campbell and Kathleen Goldsmith are participants in an American success story, the unprecedented boom of home-buying by African-Americans in the 1990s. Only he is black and she is white. When he moved into the neighborhood, she moved out.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I grew up in a neighborhood with blacks and Puerto Ricans and Italians, the whole gamut, so conveying unity has always meant a lot to me.  (Neighborhood Quotes) In all honesty, I didn’t love reading when I was a kid. I’d rather be running around in the woods or doing my best to scare the pants off all the children in the neighborhood by pretending my house was haunted or making them play Bloody Mary in the bathroom.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I spent the day today at Brighton Beach, walking around. It’s a Russian/Jewish neighborhood. And I was in a store and I saw a board game called ‘Let My People Go,’ based on the Jews’ exodus from Egypt. I was like, ‘Too soon.  (Neighborhood Quotes) We need to make sure our children travel to see things. Not necessarily long distances but at least out of the neighborhood. On a train. A boat. An airplane.  (Neighborhood Quotes) These two girls start wanting the same thing because in this neighborhood, they know all the guys so well. It’s a small town and all the guys are just really boring to them.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I am born and raised in the Bronx. Where I grew up, it is a really working-class neighborhood and it does give you a really good work ethic.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We’d lead attacks. We’d break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.  (Neighborhood Quotes) If ants had a language they would, no doubt, call their anthill an artifact and describe the brick wall in its neighborhood as a natural object. Nature in fact would be for them all that was not ‘ant-made’.  (Neighborhood Quotes) Even though the neighborhood I grew up in had some unhealthy elements, there was a caring there where you knew that you didn’t want to get caught doing something wrong. There were bright spots in the neighborhood where I felt nurtured on a community level.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I spent a lot of winters in my childhood flying kites with my brother, with my cousins, with friends in the neighborhood. It’s what we did in the winter. Schools close down. There was not much to do.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I get a headache when I hear supporters of this endless warfare complaining about the federal budget deficits. They’re like arsonists complaining about the smell of smoke in the neighborhood.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I started out with a business and psychology major, and then I started doing plays and concentrating more and more on theater. I dropped out of college and moved to New York and studied theater at The Neighborhood Playhouse. I did that for a couple of years and then got an agent.  (Neighborhood Quotes) Your body has something in the neighborhood of 40 trillion cells - quite a consulting committee. Call on it when you’re confused or undecided. Relax quietly and ask your body what it has to say.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I come from Toledo, Ohio, a town that has been hurt badly by the shift of the automobile business towards Japan. And yet I remember how the car workers lived in the neighborhood that I grew up in. My father was a car salesman, and I remember how we lived. I remember how modestly we lived.  (Neighborhood Quotes) The Negro neighborhood, which is inferior, is begging for a chance to - integrate itself into that which is - is superior, which is not going to happen. It’s going to cause trouble.  (Neighborhood Quotes) You know what Oprah taught me? Unless you count as changing your life having a neighborhood dad say to you every morning at the school bus stop, ‘You sure don’t look as good as you did on ‘Oprah!’, being on ‘Oprah’ doesn’t change your life.  (Neighborhood Quotes) Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.  (Neighborhood Quotes) The problem is that the Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul stuff may feel good, but none of that typical stuff helps when somebody in your neighborhood is murdered.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I’m still Vanessa from the neighborhood. My parents own the shop, and I’m there all the time, that I worked in when I was a teenager. I have a child from my childhood sweetheart.  (Neighborhood Quotes) There’s obviously a big difference between driving on the freeway in the desert, where there are no children playing or running over the road, than deploying it in a neighborhood.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I longed for funny stories about the sort of children who lived in my neighborhood  (Neighborhood Quotes) The universe is not indifferent to intelligence, it is actively hostile to it. Love thy neighbor as yourself, but choose your neighborhood.  (Neighborhood Quotes) I sang in church, but growing up in the neighborhood, music was more of an expression of relief or entertainment.  (Neighborhood Quotes)
