Streetlife Quotes : pic 000445616
In the city one clings to nostalgic and unreal signs of community, takes forced refuge in codes, badges and coteries; the city's life, of surfaces and locomotion, usually seems too dangerous and demanding to live through with any confidence.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000251131
This is not mere sentimentality. The triumph of twentieth-century metropolitan life is, in a real sense, the triumph of one image over the other: the dark ritual of deadly epidemics replaced by the convivial exchanges of strangers from different backgrounds sharing ideas on the sidewalk.

Streets, inseparable and blessed; and as they passed along in sunshine and shade, the noisy and the eager, and the arrogant and the froward and the vain, fretted and chafed,

Streetlife Quotes : pic 001319012
The avenues in my neighborhood are Pride, Covetousness and Lust; the cross streets are Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth. I live over on Sloth, and the style on our street is to avoid the other thoroughfares.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000390888
I love the mix of people who hang out at nightclubs now. Their individuality is an inspiration to me. The music they listen to, the clothes they wear and the way they wear them defines a street style that I love.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000597569
The world that I come from is the world of raves, hip-hop clubs, and rock and roll.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000386416
I grew up in them streets, like everyone else

Streetlife Quotes : pic 000743315
In a city, with all of its enclaves and boundaries, both real and imagined, it is impossible not to feel the presence of those who are not like you and impossible not to feel like an outsider.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001415132
I'm a thug. And my thug comes from ... my definition of thug comes from half of the street element. Straight street hustling.

Sexy stuff. We lived on a street called
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000102930
People hurried past, the others of the street, endless anonymous, twenty-one lives per second, race-walking in their faces and pigments, sprays of fleetest being.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000223026
In small towns, bored teenagers turn their eyes longingly to the exciting doings in the big cities, pining for urban amenities like hipster bars and farmers' markets and indie-rock festivals. Like everyone else, they want the vibrant and they will not be denied.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000686688
Streetwear for me is what I was raised wearing in London, and my style influences growing up were always people who wore streetwear.

Pop life Everybody needs a thrill Pop life We all got a space 2 fill Pop life Everybody can't be on top But life it ain't real funky Unless it's got that pop Dig it.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000330213
I grew up in a slum neighborhood - rows of tenements, with stoops, and kids all over the street. It was a real neighborhood - we played kick-the-can and ring-a-levio.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000077721
I remember living in a pretty small neighborhood where you could play in the streets and run around like crazy. My friends and I would ride our bikes around, but instead of just riding our bikes, we were solving crimes and going out in the woods to see what lay out there.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000831418
These absurd showbiz queens are as much a part of New York street life as sirens, steam from manholes, or ghostly Asian deliverymen ferrying chop-suey-to-go on unlit bikes going the wrong way.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000141614
Its ghetto paradise for some and hell on earth for others!
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000326829
the seedy-garish world of back-street London... restless rootless... beautiful, amoral, modern siren of doom in a jungle of dance halls, caffs and pubs.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000286519
Even at a time like this, the street is bright enough and filled with people coming and going - people with places to go and people with no place to go; people with a purpose and people with no purpose; people trying to hold time back and people trying to urge it forward. After
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001817494
The streets have two spirits: One is its own spirit and the other spirit is all the living creatures living in the street!

the road is life
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001397962
I feel like I'm married to what I do, to the streets. And I feel like when the streets are mad, it's serious.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000343578
People from small towns have to have their edges roughed up to get along in the world. But as a street reporter, you learn quickly.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000892041
Everywhere I go I'm always spotted on the streets.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000048853
In the city, you're always looking around, observing everything. In some neighborhoods, your life can depend on it. The details change constantly.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000466395
Every once in a while, large cities have narrow streets, silent passageways that allow your footsteps to echo in the stillness of the night, and it seems like everything is going back to the way it was, when there were only a few of us and we all knew each other and greeted each other on the street.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000592438
I believe that feeling like a human, behaving like a human, responding like a human to others and to your surrounding environment is the key to living a fulfilled life in the city.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000899477
Some of us are born rebellious. Like Jean Genet or Arthur Rimbaud, I roam these mean streets like a villain, a vagabond, an outcast, scavenging for the scraps that may perchance plummet off humanity's dirty plates, though often sometimes taking a cab to a restaurant is more convenient.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001383424
Merchant's Ware, the city most people thought of as the real city. Normally its narrow streets were crowded with stalls, and people from all over the Carpet. They'd each be trying to cheat one another in that open-and-aboveboard way known as doing business.

Let's begin to cover the main street of America ... just to see what the heck occurs on it.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001781815
What's the safest thing to be when one is met by a gang of social outcasts in an alley? ... No, another social outcast!
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000288413
The same things go on everywhere, whether you're from the city, the country or wherever.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000237903
I like these streets ... I always feel as though it's a performance being staged for me; as though the second I've passed they'll all stop leaping and laughing and, instead grow very sad, remembering how poor they are, and retreat with bowed heads into their houses. You often get that effect abroad
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001439781
I'm ghetto chic, I'm where the hood and high fashion meet
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001853156
I still am very street - I just have nicer clothes. I'm not ashamed of that.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000991677
DJs and people in the street know what they like.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000490061
In cities, people go to work and all walk there together, like some arterial flow. And there's a certain desolation about it, an alienation that we all experience.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001445032
live life like its going out of style
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000098435
I came to a point where I couldn't walk into an urban store and find anything I liked. Everything was just getting too baggy, everything was getting so over [priced]. It's as if what I wanted in street wear was nowhere in stores, with no disrespect to any hip-hop brands.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001861075

Streetlife Quotes : pic 000700388
Hip-hop - it's the safari: it allows people who aren't under those circumstances to come closer to inner-city life, to explore it without actually being in danger. It's something kids in middle America indulge in to be rebellious.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001096553
L.A. streets aren't just paved real estate but a cosmology, a manifestation of the city's sensibility.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001184815
Friends and neighbors,

My dad was dead, so these streets had to raise me.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001630043
City people live the city. We live in L.A., New York, we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000215806
I was drawn to street photography because there are pictures everywhere there: a woman holding a dog, a baby screaming to be put in a pram, kids playing punch ball, stores with huge barrels of kosher pickles outside. I wanted to photograph life, and here it was.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000969482
One of the things that sells music is when the artist is looked at as someone who's come up from the streets. Not just any streets, but the toughest, meanest streets of the urban ghetto. And that's called 'street credibility.'
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001718908
You know, urban culture is fun; it's lovely.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000886274
When I first came to London, I loved hanging around in cafes, smoking, scribbling, dreaming. It was life-affirming and fun.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000286599
The streets respect me because I kept it real with me. You gotta be real with yourself, and the streets recognize game.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000066933
I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain't going the way they should go, they let you know ... and when they happy, you gotta keep 'em happy.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000963626
Happily chatting and counting pocket change, patting each other on the back and whistling foolish songs, we go out on the thousand-legged street and miraculously turn into passersby.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000560427
What's good in the hood?
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000968768
When the night comes, streets welcome the lonely souls because they alone can fully understand the lonely streets!
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001668415
Normally street children are shown in terms of the tragedy of their lives - which is true - but there's also another dimension: their wisdom, dignity and enormous capacity for survival.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000683432
We left my birthplace, Brooklyn, New York, in 1939 when I was 13. I enjoyed the ethnic variety and the interesting students in my public school, P.S. 134. The kids in my neighborhood were only competitive in games, although unfriendly gangs tended to define the limits of our neighborhood.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000769474
I don't really live the bohemian life. I come to work in Midtown everyday, along with all the work-a-day folk.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001009445
In our street everybody knows everybody's business. Someone will notice I rode up and walked down. Over fences and through keyholes, your business can pass like a Chinese whisper and beat you home, even if you're running.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000466609
I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It's art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life.

Streetlife Quotes : pic 000817422
Life on the streets is short. People look at you in disgust, even the ones who give you alms, but this is nothing compared to the revulsion you feel for yourself. It's like being trapped in a walking corpse, a corpse that's hungry, stinks, and refuses to die.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001610424
I come from a young, hip-hop, urban world.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000952757
I love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000017686
I always wanted to experience the street life because my teenage life in Aberdeen was so boring. But I was never really independent enough to do it. I applied for food stamps, lived under the bridge, and built a fort at the cedar mill.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001774508
I'm very down-to-earth. I think I'm still 'street'.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001688557
For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001242785
Fancy living in one of these streets, never seeing anything beautiful, never eating anything savoury, never saying anything clever!

Streetlife Quotes : pic 001406774
Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don't find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000150887
Before rap came along, I was, actually, actively in the streets; getting in trouble, doing the wrong thing.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001307915
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000741496
The streets were full of insane & dull people. Most of them lived in nice houses and didn't seem to work, and you wondered how they did it.

Nightclub City tells the behind-the-scenes story of Manhattan's glamorous nightlife at its peak. Packed with colorful characters, terrific original research, and an unusually accessible writing style, Nightclub City is a gritty social history of America's most glitzy fantasies.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000391985
Los Angeles is a true postmodern city. Here, we celebrate with equal aplomb the high and the low. I am just as influenced by the punk rock attitude of local skate and surf cultures as I am by old-school glamour and stardust.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000876326
Real people do real things. A collective of a whole bunch of people who do things in their own locale, in their own neighborhoods - the sum is bigger than the parts, and the parts will grow.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001005722
I'm married to the street; I ain't gonna switch over. I ain't gonna go religion on nobody. I believe in God - God is for the thugs too - but the streets are in the most trouble. So I'mma keep it focused on the streets and the struggle. That's what I'm mainly about.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000648284
In New York, especially, so much of your life is spent on the streets. You don't always want to be driving around in an SUV with a security guard. You want to be able to walk to a restaurant; you want to go and do things.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000588964
I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because, unfortunately, people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000258473
I rather wonder what I am doing here. I enjoy city life, you know. The glittering lights, the constant companionship, the liquid entertainment. The lack of sudden monkeys.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001502683
The development of an informal public life depends people finding and enjoying one another outside the cash nexus.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000105063
Some girls on the street don't have a lot of money, but they have the best style. It's not about being able to buy everything in the store.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000873250
A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000881317
Weekdays, New York City's financial district bustles with activity. Its streets are rivers of rushing humanity, its air is thick with the sounds of traffic.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001787455
Anonymous people living anonymous lives.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000622352
The modern suburb is the product of the car, the five-day week, and the "bankers' hours" of the masses.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000089899
Overcopulation
The Main Street Babbitts
are fucking like rabbits,
competing and coping
in a crowded place,
overeating and moping,
bleating and hoping,
it's not the end
of the human race.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000312395
Glittering news chips in men's sideburns and women with braided microfilament glo-strands stepping around me, laughing with silver lipsticks. Kaleidoscope streets: lights and traffic and dust and coal diesel exhaust. Muddy and wet.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000363384
the most important street smart in a city of strangers is simply good manners.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001098901
I share the streets with aimlessly moving scraps of paper and little whirlwinds of dust, with motes that pass like erratic thieves under eaves and through doors.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 001257884
How the city attracts all types and how the unwary must suffer from ignorance of its ways.
Streetlife Quotes : pic 000150522
The streets will teach you about racism and capitalism and survival of the fittest. Don't worry about that. The only thing you've got to worry about is if you've got enough cold-blooded ambition to apply the lessons you get taught.
