I was born in Owerri and grew up in the east of Nigeria, in Imo state. You could say I was a 'street boy': we grew up on the street, played on the street, did everything out on the street. It was a difficult life altogether, but that's how we grew up.

Nwankwo Kanu

There's the South Pole, said Christopher Robin, and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don't like talking about them.

A. A. Milne

I started playing football on the streets; I grew up playing football on the streets with my friends, and that's why I was brought up the way I was. That's the school I had - the street football.

Diego Costa

The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.

Champ Bailey

Barry Sanders

I wasn't just playing football on the street. I grew up on the street.

Marcel Duchamp

I played a lot at the school across the street from my house. That's how I started, really. Playing street basketball and challenging the guys out on the court who were older than me.

Baron Davis

I learned to play football in the streets. Every day of school, everyone came and played football. The street is a good school, and you learn many things there - resiliency, how to play against older players, and how to put up with or dodge kicks.

Sergio Aguero

My ideal city would be one long main street with no cross streets or side streets to jam up traffic. Just a long one-way street.

Andy Warhol

Running into a pole is a drag, but never being allowed to run into a pole is a disaster.

Daniel Kish

I lived on Fulton Street in an enormous studio - I needed a bicycle to get to the toilet, about half a mile between two streets - next to Wall Street.

Erro

Everything happening at the South Pole, like the North Pole, has repercussions everywhere on the planet.

Albert II, Prince of Monaco

Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Sabine gestured to him with the half-eaten crust. "I like him. Not sure why he's wasting his time with the pole dancer, though." Tod laughed out loud and I groaned. "Sophie takes ballet and jazz. She's not a pole dancer." "There's more money in pole dancing," Sabine insisted.
