Occupy Wall Street

Famous quotes containing the words wall street, occupy, wall and/or street:

    The writer in me can look as far as an African-American woman and stop. Often that writer looks through the African-American woman. Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.

    But I would cry,
    rooted into the wall that
    was once my mother,
    if I could remember how
    and if I had the tears.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    When I pass people on the street I want to stop them and say, listen, I got a fella.
    Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Sarah (Piper Laurie)
