Text Quotes
My parents, grandmother and brother were teachers. My mother taught Latin and French and was the school librarian. My father taught geography and a popular class called Family Living, the precursor to Sociology, which he eventually taught. My grandmother was a beloved one-room school teacher at Knob School, near Sonora in Larue County, Ky (Latin Quotes)
It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true (Latin Quotes)
Curitiba is not a paradise. We have all the problems that most Latin American cities have. We have slums. We have the same difficulties, but the big difference is the respect given by people due to the quality of the services which are provided (Latin Quotes)
Trombone virtuoso and innovative composer, Papo combines the best of jazz and Latin music to create a genre that is unique and wild. He’s redefined Latin jazz! (Latin Quotes)
America cannot do most of what needs to be done alone. You need friends. And we have good friends around the world. We have friends with whom we share values in Europe and Asia - thanks to the forward march of democracy - in Latin America, in Africa, and increasingly in the Middle East (Latin Quotes)
I want people to read good work. If I see someone reading a book by Lorrie Moore or Jennifer Egan, I’m psyched. If I see them reading X Latin American Writer Who Sucks, I’m not psyched. But in terms of news, I do think that’s important (Latin Quotes)
Unfortunately we - and I’m speaking not for Latin America but for Mexico because that’s where I come from - we still, I think, are a little bit macho. Not that we only live in a macho world, but we also think as a macho world; even the women, you know? The women in Mexico, because that’s the way we were raised (Latin Quotes)
My Latin education teaches me that religion comes from religio, which means, ‘to bind.’ To bind with rope. And that’s all it means. So whenever I hear somebody go, ‘I feel so religious right now!’ I’m like, ‘Well, you’re tying yourself up in knots, are you?’ (Latin Quotes)
I was lucky enough to see the original cast of ‘In the Heights.’ This one blew my mind. The infusion of Latin, hip hop and rap with musical theatre, great storytelling and talent was a powerful combination to me during a time when I’d not been moved by much! (Latin Quotes)
The American influence is not so aggressive anymore. The American big business influence in Latin America is not as strong, so people can vote and they can have a different life than before. They can have more liberal, more interesting, and more democratic governments (Latin Quotes)
We love those beautiful, Latin American stories where there is an element that’s more mysterious and wonderful. I think as a child a lot of us love the idea of the star and more of the supernatural elements (Latin Quotes)
Someone recently pointed out how much Barack Obama’s style and strategies resemble those of Latin American charismatic despots - the takeover of industries by demagogues who never ran a business, the rousing rhetoric of resentment addressed to the masses and the personal cult of the leader promoted by the media. But do we want to become the world’s largest banana republic? (Latin Quotes)
I think in terms of the themes that I have worked on most is establishing questions of race in the context of Latin America. This is a theme that makes uncomfortable a lot of people, and it obviously makes the Latin American Left uncomfortable (Latin Quotes)
The Latin American Left, the criollos, direct descendents of Spaniards, they don’t want to accept that they are the whites of Latin America. They don’t want to talk about race. The discussion for them is based on class struggle, rich against poor, but doesn’t offer the possibility of a dialogue about racial questions (Latin Quotes)
A white leftist Mexican activist isn’t the same in the media as the son of a farmer in Guerrero, they aren’t worth the same. In the same imaginary of the Latin American Left exists a racism, a racism that corresponds to processes of colonialism internal to almost all countries in Latin America (Latin Quotes)
The countries made themselves independent from Spain, but only changed owners, who stayed in positions of power were the criollos, the Spanish descendants who were the new administrators of power and wealth in the country. And those families for generations have maintained themselves in positions of power. Latin America founded itself on everyone being equal, but in reality we aren’t (Latin Quotes)
The eastern part of the Roman Empire spoke mostly Greek, and the western parts spoke mostly Latin. So very soon, you begin getting different emphases between the Eastern church and the Western church (Latin Quotes)
When Abraham Lincoln was murdered The one thing that interested Matthew Arnold Was that the assassin shouted in Latin As he lept on the stage This convinced Matthew There was still hope for America (Latin Quotes)
It’s hard for the Catholic Church to accept change. When the mass was no longer said in Latin, loyalists went into mourning for years (Latin Quotes)
What makes Harlem special is that at any given time, food seekers can not only find food deeply rooted in Southern, Latin and African traditions, but also can taste the newer Senegalese, Chinese, and Italian influences as well. (Latin Quotes)
I was reading books about the Nazi presence not only in Argentina, but all over Latin America, and time and after time this information would come up. (Latin Quotes)
The only thing to be said for air travel is speed. It makes possible travel on a scale unimaginable before our present age. Between the ages of 20 and four-score I visited every country in Europe, all save two in Latin America, ditto in Africa, and most of Asia, not counting eight trips to Australia and 60 to the United States - all by air. (Latin Quotes)
Latin music has many international influences - pop, rock, country, Brazilian sounds, and alternative styles. (Latin Quotes)
The Mexican debt crisis, Latin American debt crisis, the crises of the 1990s, the Wall Street stock market crash, and other events should have reminded us, and did remind us, that financial instability remains a concern, remains a problem. (Latin Quotes)
Education is the only way forward in Latin America and developing countries in general (Latin Quotes)
Latin life is rich with warmth, family values and history. I want to bring that beauty into American homes. (Latin Quotes)
Conflict with the United States is one of the overwhelming facts of Latin American history (Latin Quotes)
Jennifer Lopez has been very much in the news because of her divorce from Marc Anthony, also a top singer, a top player in Latin music, her joining the cast of judges on American Idol. But the music has not been at the forefront. (Latin Quotes)
Just about every Latin American country has sent players to the big leagues, from the Dominican Republic to Costa Rica. (Latin Quotes)
I have been definitely influenced more by Latin American writers than by any other type of writer. They are very close in terms of voice - their humor, their fatalism, their... well, that over-used term ‘magical realism.’ It’s a wonderful term that’s just been used so much, we don’t know what it means anymore. (Latin Quotes)
