Famous quotes containing the words widely, traveled and/or person:

    “To have no son, no wife,
    No house or land still seemed quite natural.
    Only a numbness registered the shock
    Of finding out how much had gone of life,
    How widely from the others.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I traveled and made money and I wouldn’t let anybody get between me and my music. If I belong to anything, I belong to my music. ...What you were born to do, you don’t stop to think, should I? could I? would I? I only think, will I? And, I shall!”
    —Eva Jessye (b. 1895)

    “...I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
    because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and they’ll
    probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
    all the while I was quite happy.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
