Famous quotes containing the word neighborhood:

    Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.”
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    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, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)

    I do not like forced integration.... I do not like forced anything.... as a youngster I lived in a white neighborhood with a white neighbor next door. We would go to them, they would go to us. If they had anything, we had it. We lived just like one. We didn’t think about no integration.
    Ruby Middleton Forsythe (b. 1905)
