Community Quotes

Have you ever thought how it would be to live outside the close comforts of your friends, family and neighborhood? Yes, you will have to bid adieu to all the games, parties, picnics, get together, and many other such things where together as a community you share your time, laughter, joy and happiness with your family and neighbors. Human beings are social creatures, and so for us sharing and caring in intimacy is an important part of life. No one wants to stay away from the warmth and bonding of the community except perhaps an antisocial or a hermit. Read the community quotes given below to find out what living unitedly in a community is all about.

Robert Kennedy, Jr.

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct.

Many Americans don't know anyone in the military, so they aren't aware that, on average, a military child attends six to nine schools by the time he or she graduates from high school. Through each transition, the children have to leave their friends, try out for new sports teams and adjust to a new school community.

When everyone at school is speaking one language, and a lot of your classmates' parents also speak it, and you go home and see that your community is different -there is a sense of shame attached to that. It really takes growing up to treasure the specialness of being different.

It's kind of like those little electric bumper cars where you drive around and see if you can hit the other guy. That's exactly what the country is like now. You no longer have the sense of community. Of loyalty. It's lost its sense of group. It has nothing to do with leadership.

The black characters on TV are the sidekicks, or they're insignificant. You could put all the black sidekicks on one show, and it would be the most boring, one-dimensional show ever. Even look at the black women on 'Community' and 'Parks and Recreation' - they are the archetype of the large black women on television. Snide and sassy.
