Famous quotes containing the words african and/or jazz:

    “I always draw a parallel between oppression by the regime and oppression by men. To me it is just the same. I always challenge men on why they react to oppression by the regime, but then they do exactly the same things to women that they criticize the regime for.”
    —Sethembile N., South African black anti-apartheid activist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 19, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)

    “Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
