Famous quotes containing the words suburbs, public and/or housing:

    “The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Bath twice a day to be really clean, once a day to be passably clean, once a week to avoid being a public menace.”
    —Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

    “We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
