Famous quotes containing the words florida, state and/or road:

    “In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    “During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes.” It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldn’t matter to anyone any more.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    “The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
    And the highwayman came riding—
    Riding—riding—
    The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”
    —Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
