Famous quotes containing the words pepsi and/or southern:

    “There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won’t.”
    —Annie Lennox (b. 1954)

    “I prefer to make no new declarations [on southern policy beyond what was in the Letter of Acceptance]. But you may say, if you deem it advisable, that you know that I will stand by the friendly and encouraging words of that Letter, and by all that they imply. You cannot express that too strongly.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
