Famous quotes containing the words south and/or america:
“A friend and I flew south with our children. During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car thats just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“In America any boy may become President, and I suppose its just one of the risks he takes!”
—Adlai Stevenson (19001965)
