Famous quotes containing the words joe and/or garcia:
“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part.”
—Jerry Garcia (1942–1995)
