Community Choice

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or choice:

“The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)

“You didn’t have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
