Latin American

Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or american:

“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“You’re contending with a genius, D.J. is his name, only American alive who could outtalk Cassius Clay, that’s lip.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
