Famous quotes containing the word jumbo:
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
