Famous quotes containing the word streets:

—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

“A man who lives with nature is used to violence and is companionable with death. There is more violence in an English hedgerow than in the meanest streets of a great city.”
—P.D. (Phyllis Dorothy)

““But, mother, I won’t be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.””
