Famous quotes containing the word streets:

    Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Last night I fled until I came
    To streets where leaking casements dripped
    Stale lamplight from the corpse of flame;
    A nervous window bled.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “But, mother, I won’t be alone.
    Other children will go with me,
    And march the streets of Birmingham
    To make our country free.”
    Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
