Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas: first, because we do not believe in the mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be said or sung in Latin or in English; and, secondly, because we find no Scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and, consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority.

Chita Rivera

Somebody told me once I wasn't Latin enough, and that made me laugh

Chinua Achebe

In America there is really very little knowledge of the literature of the rest of the world.
