Jamaica Pass

Famous quotes containing the words jamaica and/or pass:

“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)

“If only people would realize that moral principles are like measles.... They have to be caught. And only the people who’ve got them can pass on the contagion.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
