Famous quotes containing the word state:
“During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes. It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldnt matter to anyone any more.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
