Famous quotes containing the words church and/or jamaica:
“You know, some of these folks look as queer in church as a mule does in the front parlor.”
—Howard Estabrook (18841978)
“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 (18911960)
