Expert: Dan Date: 6/27/2005 Subject: source of Maya Angelou quote
Question I am trying to find the source of the following quotation. It has been quoted and re-quoted on line, but the only credit ever given is Maya Angelou. I would like to use the quote on the front page of a book I have just completed, but I cannot find a source to direct my request for permission.
Here is the quote:
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
Answer I did a google.com book search. I couldn't get inside the full item, yet it gave me a clue it could be in "Chicken Soup for the Traveler's Soul: 101 Stories to Celebrating the Adventure, Spirit and Joy of Travel, at Homeor Along the Way". You may want to try google.com book search for more information. Good luck and sorry. Use the first part of the quote in this case for the search.
