State San

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or san:

    Alas, why would you heap this care on me?
    I am unfit for state and majesty.
    I do beseech you take it not amiss,
    I cannot nor I will not yield to you.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exercise. Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
