Famous quotes containing the words joe, camel and/or campaign:
“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Alas, alas for Hamelin!
There came into many a burgher’s pate
A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
Opes to the rich at as easy rate
As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Dianne’s not one of the boys, but she’s not one of the girls, either.”
—Marcia Smolens, U.S. political campaign aide. As quoted in Dianne Feinstein, ch. 15, by Jerry Roberts (1994)
