Famous quotes containing the words san and/or gabriel:

    “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)

    “To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.”
    —Honoré Gabriel Riquet, Comte De Mirabeau (1749–1791)
