A Quote by Michelle Wu

Block by block, street by street, our city has the resources, the activism, and the ideas to meet these challenges if we act boldly and reshape what's possible. After all, Boston was founded on a revolutionary promise: that things don't have to be as they always have been.

The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.

Roland Barthes

The great majority of Baghdad is a slum - a lot of it's new, but it's still slum. It's usually this concrete-block, one-room design with a door and a window, arranged one-up, one-down, often with a shop with nothing in it on the first floor, and then a one-room apartment above it. There's street after street after street of that stuff.

P. J. O'Rourke

On the fourth Thursday in August, my neighbors and I cordon off the ends of our block and take over the street for an evening. The annual Augustus Ave. block party is an exercise in teamwork and deep democracy.

I grew up in Harlem, a block away from what was then the most crowded block in New York City, according to the 1950 census. Something like ten thousand people lived in one city block.

Samuel R. Delany

Wu-Block is more street. It's just street, that's all.

Ghostface Killah

When Boston harnesses the collective energy, activism, and joy of all our communities, we will make the change we need and deserve - at scale and at street level.

We must uphold the promise of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton and never allow the President and his Republican friends to threaten Social Security by putting it on the Wall Street trading block.

John F. Kerry

The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled.

Jaime Lerner

LEGO has essentially taken the concrete block, the building block of the world, and made it into the building block of our imagination.

Ayah Bdeir

That's why I call the Senate the graveyard of democracy, because even when you have 58 senators, they can block it and block it and block it.

Ralph Nader

This is something everyone knows: A well-used city street is apt to be a safe street. A deserted city street is apt to be unsafe.

Jane Jacobs

When I was young you raced from one end of the street to the other, or round the block.

Linford Christie

Some people talk of writer's block - you got all of these ideas but nothing happens. The truth is, there's no such thing as writer's block. It's to the degree that you want to write. The thing is that these things show up whenever they feel like it.

Jon Fratelli

When you come to the fight Don't block the halls and don't block the door, for y'all may go home after round four.

Muhammad Ali

The ten-block radius around my house in Brooklyn has been my whole world. When I walk on the street, I feel like I've rediscovered my childhood innocence. I love it because nothing has changed.

Lucas Hedges

I see a really good tag on a building, a man passed out in the middle of the street, a couple hugging, a cop arresting a panhandler. I'm interested in how all these things are happening in one block.
