Occupy Wall Street

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

    Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence. It was the accustomed way of ordinarily educated people to occupy the world beyond their own small and immediate lives.
    Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

    Something inspires the only cow of late
    To make no more of a wall than an open gate,
    And think no more of wall-builders than fools.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The last time I saw Paris
    Her heart was warm and gay,
    I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café.
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
