Famous quotes containing the words jack and/or williamson:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””

“What do you do for your living?
Are you forgiving, giving shelter?
Follow your heart; love will find you;
truth will unbind you;
Sing out a song of the soul.”
—Cris Williamson (20th century)
