Kevin Johnson

Play, York, Diversity

Marion Berry

Making, Africa, Israel

I felt that I had been influenced by being in the city enough and I wanted to go off by myself to see what was going on. I remember going out there and looking in the mirror and thinking I wasn't anything.
Roscoe Mitchell

Thinking, Remember, Enough

Washington is a city that coddles up to and worships power.
Joshua Micah Marshall

Power, Washington, Worships

I was living in New York City and flat broke. My next door neighbor was an actor and he always seemed to be having more fun than I was. He convinced me to give acting a shot, but because of my shyness I was sure it would be a lost cause.

Solange Knowles

Sydney's a beautiful city. It was a great experience.
Barbara Hershey

Great, Experience, Beautiful

We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in 'The Blues Brothers' with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can't believe we're going to play for people in New York City. I'm terrified, but it's a small enough room. But it's really just supposed to be for the fun of it.
Lauren Ambrose

Fun, Small, Enough

The Athenians are right to accept advice from anyone, since it is incumbent on everyone to share in that sort of excellence, or else there can be no city at all.
Protagoras

Advice, Else, Everyone

Whitfield Diffie

Love, York, Liked

These past years, as we have been recovering and given our city a rebirth, we have been encouraged by our faith, knowledge, and steadfast belief that we will pull through. There will be challenges and setbacks, as there have already been, but we will continue, and we the citizens of New Orleans will prevail in bringing our city back.
Cedric Richmond

Faith, Knowledge, Past

In the past Berlin was much more radical and extreme and now it's becoming much more of a conventional European city.
Olafur Eliasson

Past, Becoming, Extreme

Every city is always changing, on its own trajectory.
Olafur Eliasson

Changing, Trajectory

It would be wrong to say that the city of Berlin is not regulated. What I think is more interesting is to what extent a city creates a sort of safe haven for its users, so that people feel confident that the city works on their behalf.
Olafur Eliasson

Wrong, Works, Safe

I was in Beijing a month ago working on the smoke project in collaboration with an architect there, and I was asked very directly whether it was safe to breathe in the smoke. They did not have confidence in the museum not to use harmful smoke, and they certainly didn't have confidence that the city would protect them from harmful smoke.
Olafur Eliasson

Confidence, Working, Whether

You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.
Bill Goldberg

Lou Barletta

In a city that is barely getting by with its small budget, something like illegal immigration can be the difference from being able to provide the level of public service that people expect.
Lou Barletta

Small, Service, Able

I believe the challenge the city faces is attracting continued development into the inner and western part of Jersey City. Nobody should be left behind as Jersey City continues to prosper and grow.
Vincent Frank

Challenge, Left, Nobody

I do feel we can create more jobs and opportunities for Jersey City residents, but in the spirit of free enterprise, I do not think it is right to force companies to hire a fixed percentage of local residents.
Vincent Frank

Free, Spirit, Create

As a planning board commissioner, I have to review the applications for development throughout the city, and the bulk of those applications have been for the waterfront. I think the progress the waterfront has made is amazing.
Vincent Frank

Amazing, Made, Progress

You know what's nice about Montreal? Not only is it a beautiful city, but you have Cuban cigars.
Jamie Farr

Beautiful, Nice, Cigars

The last copy of the Chicago Daily News I picked up had three crime stories on its front page. But by comparison to the gaudy days, this is small-time stuff. Chicago is as full of crooks as a saw with teeth, but the era when they ruled the city is gone forever.
John Gunther

Daily, Last, Days

After my stellar first grade academic achievements, I continued to perform well in the city primary schools - except for penmanship, which was not my forte.
Vernon L. Smith

After, Except, Schools

I think L.A.'s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you're in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it's a much better city if you're working as an actor. If you're not working and you don't see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.
Scott Patterson

Dreams, True, Working

The language of the younger generation has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.
Elizabeth Hardwick

Power, Language, Military
