- "Travis (presently): Could I maybe go carry some groceries in front of the supermarket for a little while after school then?" (Hansberry 491)

- "Travis: Mama, and this Friday. (gleefully) Check something tomorrow, huh? Ruth: You get your mind off money and eat your breakfast" (Hansberry 490) 

-"Ruth: Come on now, boy, it's seven thirty! (Her son sits up at last, in a stupor of sleepiness.) I say hurry up, Travis! You ain't the only person in the world got to use a bathroom! (The child, a sturdy, handsome little boy of ten or eleven, drags himself out of the bed and almost blindly takes his towels and 'today's clothes' from drawers and a closet and goes out to the bathroom, which is in an outside hall and which is shared by another family or families on the same floor)" (Hansberry 488) 

Women: 
- "Walter (growing impatiently): Don't call it that. See there, that just goes to show you what women understand about the world." (Hansberry 494) 

Families:
- "Linder: ... It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities" (Hansberry 553) 

-"Walter: Talking 'bout life, Mama. You all always telling me to see life like it is. Well - I laid in there on my back today ... and I figured it out. Life just like it is. Who gets and who don't get. (He sits down with his coat on and caught.) Mama, you know it's all divided up. Life is. Sure enough. Between the takers and the 'token.' (He laughs)." (Hansberry 570).
