Famous quotes containing the words latin, america and/or caribbean:

    “But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
    Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
    And travelling often in the cut he makes,
    Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
    And all their botany is Latin names.
    The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)

    “It is a curious thing to be a woman in the Caribbean after you have been a woman in these United States.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
