I am here before you tonight to dedicate this administration to bringing a new renaissance of neighborhood life and community spirit, a renewal of confidence in the future of our city and a revival of opportunity for all Chicago.
Jane Byrne

I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.
Rodney Dangerfield

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.
Jon Stewart

I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.
David Mamet

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.
David James Elliott

I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I live in a neighborhood so bad that you can get shot while getting shot.
Chris Rock

I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives.
Marc Cherry

I mean that the function of the police is to solve problems that have law-enforcement consequences in a way that is based on a genuine partnership with the neighborhood in both the venting of the problem and the discussion of the solution.
James Q. Wilson

I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark.
Dick Gregory

I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood.
Terry Brooks

I think the Lower East Side inspires me. That whole neighborhood, a lot of the people that I worked with, seeing what we've gone through in life, being given an opportunity to understand who I am; my identity, my culture, and my roots.
Luis Guzman

I wanted to be that cranky old guy that stands on his porch and yells at the neighborhood kids.
Robert Lansing

I wanted to become a champ - I was surrounded by champs in my family and in my neighborhood - and because of this stupid accident, I lost my opportunity.
Olivier Martinez

I was a very observant child. The boys in my books are based on boys in my neighborhood growing up.
Beverly Cleary

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else or as smart, or whatever.
Halle Berry

I was born in Champaign in 1918. From the neighborhood elementary and intermediate schools, I went to the University High School in the twin city, Urbana.
James Tobin

I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.
Shia LaBeouf

I was, somewhere in the neighborhood of about 300 jumps.
Hugh Shelton

I'd worship the ground you walked on if only you walked in a better neighborhood.
Billy Wilder
