Famous quotes containing the words giovanni and/or martini:

    ...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)

    You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest-lived.
    Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
