Famous quotes containing the words jewel and/or jamaica:
“As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 11:22.
“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
