From blood banking to the modern subway, from jazz to social justice, the contributions of African Americans have shaped and molded and influenced our national culture and our national character.
Bill Frist

I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.
Piper Perabo

I like the tube more than the NY subway though, you've got cushioned seats.
Neil Patrick Harris

I think it's easy for directors to stay fresh more than actors, especially once an actor becomes a star. It's hard for Russell Crowe to walk down a street or take a subway. I can fly coach.
Michael Mann

I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.
Al Sharpton

I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy.

I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can't do anything anyway.
Toni Morrison

If I ever have to stop taking the subway, I'm gonna have a heart attack.
Edward Norton

If there's an intellectual highway, there's also an intellectual subway.
Stanley Crouch

In the United States in 2009, more than 10.2 billion trips were taken on transit trains and buses. So far, the nation has not experienced a major transit attack since Sept. 11, but the March 2010 Moscow subway bombings and earlier train attacks in London and Mumbai show that we must be prepared.
John Mica

No one is asking what happened to all the homeless. No one cares, because it's easier to get on the subway and not be accosted.
Richard Linklater

On the other hand, all kinds of adventurous schemes to add security checkpoints to subway and bus systems have been circulating since the London attacks. This is nonsense. No one can guaranty 100 percent security.
Otto Schily

People who want to understand democracy should spend less time in the library with Aristotle and more time on the buses and in the subway.
Simeon Strunsky

Spelling is very easy to practice yourself whereas signing is not. So I would sit on the subway riding around New York and I would spell whatever I would see. When I watched a movie I would spell words as they came up.
Richard Masur

The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements halls and whispered in the sounds of silence.
Paul Simon

There's been a big spur in downtown development with new business, restaurants and a lot of loft buying. The buses run, and there's a subway that runs through downtown.
Michael Ritchie

Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
Warren Buffett

When you're playing an icon like Wolverine, it's sometimes better to be someone that nobody knows because they don't know what to expect. I don't mind a little bit of anonymity; it helps on the subway.
Hugh Jackman

You don't look at each other on the subway.
Simon Pegg
