Now we just showin' and provin' that there's a ghetto everywhere you go.

Francesca Annis

The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.

The trouble with us is that the ghetto of the Middle Ages and the children of the twentieth century have to live under one roof.
Anzia Yezierska

The Twist was a guided missile launched from the ghetto into the heart of suburbia. The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books.

There should be a moral principle there that says, let's green the ghetto first. Let's go to those communities where they have the least ability to pay for that retrofit and make sure they get that help, make sure they get that support. And give the young people standing on those corners the opportunity to put down those handguns and pick up some caulking guns and be a part of the solution.

Quincy Jones

We're from the ghetto. Venus is a ghetto Cinderella. People from the ghetto don't get nervous.
Richard Williams

Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
Saul Williams

You leap over the wall of one ghetto and find yourself in another ghetto.
Klaus Kinski

You see, I was born in the slums, that was before the ghetto. The ghetto was kind of refined; the slums was right there on the ground.
