Street Quotes

Enjoy life and change things. And maybe by giving examples of people who achieve things, who succeed, who are proactive and being happy and facing their own destinies, rather than accepting what the world throws at at them - we should fight! Not like street fighting, but the little act of defiance every day Picture Quote #1

Shakespearean words, foreign words, slang and dialect and made-up phrases from kids on the street corner: English has room for them all. And writers - not just literary writers, but popular writers as well - breathe air into English and keep it lively by making it their own, not by adhering to some style manual that gets handed out to college Freshmen in a composition class Picture Quote #1

A lot of people thought I got famous as a studio artist, then decided to cash in on it. But it actually was just a matter of survival for many years, and I felt it was really important for me to be able to say whatever I wanted with my street art and fine art Picture Quote #1

The Internet wasn’t even an option for me, so one of the reasons I was so motivated to do street art was because there was no other outlet. Maybe if the Internet had been around then, I would have tried to do stuff that went viral and was clever and got me a lot of hits Picture Quote #1

I’m not a fatalist. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there are close calls that we’re not even aware of hundreds of times a year. You cross the street, and if you’d crossed the street two minutes later, you’d have been hit by a car, but you’d never know it. I’m sure that kind of stuff happens all the time Picture Quote #1

In Boston, a couple of the women were students and they mentioned how Boston has a huge student population, and that’s specific to their experiences of street harassment. They feel like the men were a lot more aggressive, particularly when it comes to social outings and things like that Picture Quote #1

I’m a woman of color. I’ve lived in black neighborhoods all of my life, and most of the time I get hit on in my neighborhood - and mostly by black men. And so I wanted to have my specific experience and my perspective on street harassment out there Picture Quote #1

I’ve generally gotten negative feedback from men who don’t understand and don’t find street harassment to be a serious issue. I’ve also gotten a lot of responses from women who are appreciative and thankful for the project; who relate to it who are passionate about it Picture Quote #1

I’ll definitely pay attention to someone who is critiquing the artwork. But as far as someone not thinking street harassment is a big deal or that I’m being uptight? I don’t think that’s a valid critique Picture Quote #1

I made the transition to directing documentaries with the great help of my Co-Director on The World According to Sesame Street, Linda Hawkins Costigan. She was a gracious teacher, and a wonderful collaborator Picture Quote #1

I don’t find inspiration on Wall Street. I don’t find that in Beverly Hills. I don’t find that in places where opportunity resides unbridled, and I think the real creative energy and the real juice is in where people are caught, in the economic abyss Picture Quote #1

I hear [my Twitter followers] say, you know, ‘Bob Rae, you’re an asshole’. [...] I’m working my way and trying to represent the people and speaking in Question Period and here we have vox populi, the thoughtful man on the street, ‘you are an asshole!’. Thank you very much. I read it on my Twitter and I get up and ask a question Picture Quote #1

I think when something becomes a comfortable genre, it’s against what street art stood for in the beginning - breaking out of genres and taking art out of galleries. Now street art is in the gallery, and it’s all made up into a nice, packaged concept Picture Quote #1

The consequence of making it a business thing and making an artist the same as a Wall Street trader is that you do get a robot by the end of it. It becomes more robotic as opposed to being more soulful Picture Quote #1

Poster art was always my way of being involved in the conversation. So it wasn’t just a one-way conversation with the police yelling at us or freaking us out. Street posters allowed you to have the last word Picture Quote #1

I was there in Washington in the `90s. It was pretty bad then. It`s much worse now [in 2015]. And that vicious cycle is you`ve got again big corporations, executives, Wall Street, very wealthy individuals in both parties who are calling the shots Picture Quote #1

On the street luge side, you need to have a solid core and balance. A healthy body is a must in that sport if you want to compete for wins, and my diet has certainly enabled me to make the most of myself Picture Quote #1

What most interests me is human connection, whether it’s on the street, in community, through music, storytelling, and shared experience. People tell me to be a rock cellist, make money, and give up on the activism so I can make more money Picture Quote #1

I called for a consumer protection financial bureau before it was created. And I think the best evidence that the Wall Street people at least know where I stand and where I have always stood is because they are trying to beat me in this primary Picture Quote #1

Wall Street is perhaps the most powerful economic and political force in this country. You have companies like Goldman Sachs, who just recently paid a settlement fine with the federal government for $5 billion for defrauding investors Picture Quote #1

I was a street kid, basically. But really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I’ve always found my way through it in different ways Picture Quote #1

The life of a woman is worth half of that of a man [in Iran]. If a terrorist attacks me and my brother on the street and we are both injured the same, the compensation he receives is twice as much as the compensation that I would receive Picture Quote #1

Success is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it’s also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we’ll see more of what we’re already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction Picture Quote #1

We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street Picture Quote #1

Accidents, and particularly street and highway accidents, do not happen - they are caused Picture Quote #1

If achieving the Hong Kong dream becomes a vanishing hope, then our society will suffer. What would the Hong Kong dream be? It’s no different from the American dream, whereby an everyday man on the street who works hard would be able to make good savings and use those savings as equity for their future small business Picture Quote #1

Few areas which are not publicly owned can boast as many footpaths as the Cuckmere Valley. For a short walk, a footbridge across the river leads back to the little hamlet of Milton Street, where another classic local pub, the Sussex Ox, provides an admirable lunch Picture Quote #1

Everything has an advantage and disadvantage but, choose an option that will bring you back to the track. Even if you see a poor man on the street choose an option that will left you up, but don’t just choose, apply action Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a street fighter. It has sharp elbows. It can look after itself. Poetry can’t be used for manipulation; it’s why you never see good poetry in advertising Picture Quote #1

Immortality awaits the legislator fortunate enough to have a significant law named after him. Think of Pell grants or Stafford loans for students, Sarbanes-Oxley to regulate Wall Street, or the Hyde Amendment on abortions Picture Quote #1
