Famous quotes containing the words san and/or nicolas:
“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)
“Nature never said to me: Do not be poor; still less did she say: Be rich; her cry to me was always: Be independent.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
