Poor Neighborhoods Quotes

• Cuando vives en un barrio pobre, vives en una zona donde las escuelas son malas. Cuando hay malas escuelas, hay malos profesores. Si los profesores son malos, la educación es mala. Cuando tienes una educación deficiente, sólo puedes trabajar en un empleo mal pagado. Y ese trabajo mal pagado te permite volver a vivir en un barrio pobre. Es un círculo vicioso.

• Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works. So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day. They have no habit of 'I do this and you give me cash' unless it's illegal.

• A white college student from a private college goes into a poor neighborhood and volunteers four hours a week and that's considered exemplary. [Whereas] a poor kid who lives in that community and takes care of all the kids in that neighborhood four hours every day is not seen as a volunteer.

• Soy de Nápoles. Nací en un barrio pobre y siempre, en mi corazón, sentí que sería increíble poder adoptar a un niño de Nápoles. Podría dar a alguien la oportunidad que yo tuve. Me encantaría retribuir de esa manera y devolver el favor.

• I have chosen for my emblem a Star, representing the Virgin Mary, and the Eucharist. Those who know me as a professor of theology will remember my passion for the Eucharist from our classes. Blessed be God for this madness... We must live our commitment to society steeped in the Eucharist. We must take the Eucharist to the streets, both in the heart of the city and on the outskirts, to the poor neighborhoods and to hospitals... In order to obey the Resurrected Christ, I dare say with Pope John Paul II: 'Open wide the doors of your heart to the Holy Spirit.'

• The schools that suffer are the schools in, in poor neighborhoods. They are the neighborhoods with the greatest need, with the parents struggling to work and to make ends meet. They don't have enough resources to give, they don't have enough resources to pay more, and these are the neighborhoods that go first.

• One of the best things I found out about Detroit is that bears have started returning to the city. When bears are gentrifying your neighborhood and opening Thai restaurants, that's a poor neighborhood.

• If the "rich" were swarming into poor neighborhoods and beating the poor until they coughed up the dimes they swallowed for safekeeping, yes, this would be a transfer of income from the poor to the rich. But allowing taxpayers to keep more of their money does not qualify as taking it from the poor - unless you believe that the poor have a moral claim to the money other people earn.

• En realidad es la historia de una joven, o dos mujeres, que crecen en Nápoles en un barrio pobre. La forma en que salen de él -o no salen- forma parte de ella. Pero también es la historia de mediados del siglo XX en Italia, así que en realidad es como una novela social, histórica y personal. Creo que, aunque yo no viviera en Italia en aquellos años, abarca el mismo tipo de educación generacional que alguien como yo podría haber tenido en Estados Unidos.
