John Howard Griffin Quotes

It Was The Ghetto. I Had Seen Them Before From The High Altitude Of One Who Could Look Down And Pity. Now I Belonged Here And The View Was Different. A First Glance Told It All. Here It Was Pennies And Clutter And Spittle On The Curb... Here Was The Indefinable Stink Of Despair. Here Modesty Was The Luxury. People Struggled For It... Here Sensuality Was Escape, Proof Of Manhood For People Who Could Prove It No Other Way... Here Hips Drew The Eye And Flirted With The Eye And Caused The Eye To Lust Or Laugh. It Was Better To Look At Hips Than At The Ghetto.
