A great wind swept over the ghetto, carrying away shame, invisibility and four centuries of humiliation. But when the wind dropped people saw it had been only a little breeze, friendly, almost gentle.
Jean Genet
'Be faithful to your roots' is the liberal version of 'Stay in your ghetto.'
Mason Cooley
Because I'm a young black man driving a really nice, expensive car, I sometimes get harassed when I'm rolling through a ghetto neighbourhood.
Coolio
Booty is just a ghetto expression, and I'm just a booty star.
Richard Pryor
Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.
Rem Koolhaas
How could you be from the ghetto and be a rat?
Suge Knight
I am pleased now that I have lived in a gay as well as a religious ghetto, though it hasn't been very comfortable. Taken together, their limitations cancel each other out and I have seen the world more kindly and more honestly.
Lionel Blue
I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.
Spiro T. Agnew
I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
Oprah Winfrey
I think it's a mistake where rap music is these days. It doesn't seem to be able to look out of the ghetto and that's ultimately unfortunate, because it defines our limitations.
Saul Williams
I think there's an element where people get very comfortable in their ghetto. Which is fair enough.
Neil Tennant

Lionel Blue
I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
Diana Ross
I was the original socially depraved shy ghetto kid.
Bob Cousy
I'm enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn't?
O. J. Simpson
I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit.
Sadie Frost
If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto.
Carter G. Woodson
In the Ghetto, I'd been trying to write for years.
Mac Davis
It's also true, however, that having conquered the regional writer ghetto, I am now intent on conquering the nationalist writer ghetto and moving out into the world more.
Rick Moody
Like most ghetto kids I knew it was important to be 'somebody' so I became a good soccer player, because excelling at a sport seemed to make you special.
