Latin Quotes

Ironically, Latin American countries, in their instability, give writers and intellectuals the hope that they are needed Picture Quote #1

My friend, Dennis Mathis, was reading Eastern European and Japanese experimental writers, and I brought the Latin American writers to his attention, so we exchanged books and bounced off one another Picture Quote #1

I feel blessed to even be able to put out an English album. Not too many Latin artists get the opportunity to come out and record another genre that’s so different to Bachata Picture Quote #1

I still remember asking my high school guidance teacher for permission to take a second year of algebra instead of a fifth year of Latin. She looked down her nose at me and sneered, ‘What lady would take mathematics instead of Latin?’ Picture Quote #1

Before anyone learns my last name, they always assume I have some type of Latin background in me somewhere. I love it! I think the Latin culture is sexy. It’s one of my goals to learn to speak Spanish one day; then I will really be able to fool people! Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who’d never done any Latin dance. I’d taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I’d never done a dance audition Picture Quote #1

Going back into the history of a word, very often into Latin, we come back pretty commonly to pictures or models of how things happen or are done Picture Quote #1

My label is to play bad guys of Latin origin in American movies. I’m happy with that label. I prefer to play that than to play a city boy. The bad guy is always something very tempting for the audience Picture Quote #1

It was strange: I never had an interest in school because from an early age I knew the only thing I wanted to do was to play music! So I didn’t feel so bad not going into school when I was supposed to be there - why do I need Latin, geography, physical education, etc., and to get beaten on a daily basis? Picture Quote #1

Bad writers are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones Picture Quote #1

One-third of all professional baseball players come from Latin America, and Sosa is following role models such as the late Roberto Clemente, a Puerto Rican, from whom he adopted the No. 21. Now he is a model for others Picture Quote #1

Latin men are the most passionate men in the world - they may not be the most aggressive, but they are very passionate, very romantic Picture Quote #1

I feel I’ll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman Picture Quote #1

The power of the Latin classic is in character , that of the Greek is in beauty . Now character is capable of being taught, learnt, and assimilated: beauty hardly Picture Quote #1

Latin America has much richer resources. You’d expect it to be far more advanced than East Asia, but it had the disadvantage of being under imperialist wings Picture Quote #1

Being someone with Latin roots, so many doors are constantly closed for you because people put you in a category, and the thing I’ve always wanted to avoid is categorisation Picture Quote #1

People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I’m very proud to have Latin blood Picture Quote #1

Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet Picture Quote #1

The former colonies, in Latin America in particular, have a better chance than ever before to overcome centuries of subjugation, violence and foreign intervention, which they have so far survived as dependencies with islands of luxury in a sea of misery Picture Quote #1

Latin guys dance. American guys don’t dance. That’s a big difference Picture Quote #1

When I need to be precise about a plant, I use its Latin name, even if my nongardening friends sometimes look at me a little funny for using big words in a dead language - or in the kind of horticultural Esperanto that botanical names make up Picture Quote #1

I got my first set of drums when I was around 3. I went from band to marching band to Latin jazz band - it’s like riding a bike Picture Quote #1

One night I’ll be in Los Angeles and it’ll be a Latin crowd, and then another night I’ll go to Fresno and it’ll be an all-black crowd. To me, that’s the beauty of the music Picture Quote #1

I’m extremely proud of being Latin; it’s a big part of my life. It’s not something I outwardly promote, just like I don’t outwardly promote that I have green eyes and blonde hair. It’s a part of who I am. I love the richness of the culture I grew up within Picture Quote #1

Wherever Mantle went in the great metropolis - Danny’s Hideaway, the Latin Quarter, the 21’ Club, the Stork Club, El Morocco, Toots Shor’s - his preferred drink was waiting when he walked through the door. Reporters waited at his locker for monosyllabic bons mots. Boys clustered by the players’ gate, hoping to touch him Picture Quote #1

Reviewers have called my books ‘novels in verse.’ I think of them as written in prose, but I do use stanzas. Stanza means ‘room’ in Latin, and I wanted there to be ‘room’ - breathing opportunities to receive thoughts and have time to come out of them before starting again at the left margin Picture Quote #1

In America, I am brown; I’m ‘of colour’, so I would be offered Latin roles, and I’ve fought against that. I don’t want to be put in a category, to be just offered the same sort of thing. For me, it’s all about different roles, telling the stories of the great writers Picture Quote #1

During the 1990s the United States sought to impose the ‘Washington Consensus’ on Latin American governments. It embodied what Latin Americans call ‘neo-liberal’ principles: budget cuts, privatization, deregulation of business, and incentives for foreign companies. This campaign sparked bitter resistance and ultimately collapsed Picture Quote #1

The Latin American drug cartels have stretched their tentacles much deeper into our lives than most people believe. It’s possible they are calling the shots at all levels of government Picture Quote #1

The largest source of greenhouse gases in the coming decades will not be the US, Western Europe and Japan, but the developing economies of East Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The coming eruption of carbon emissions from the poor world will dwarf any reductions in the North Picture Quote #1
