Fiesta Quotes

“I treasured these slightly mad little escapades. They were part of the carnival spirit of the city, which seemed on the verge of breaking into a fiesta. Even the five-and-ten-cent stores, the epitome of national conformity, took on a local flavor with their displays of turquoise and silver, Aztec pottery, and hand-tooled leather simply screaming for the open marketplace, while the fake pearls crouched back in awe. But it was the gay little Mexican girls who, smiling sweet-tempered behind the counters, set the mood. Never rude, never dull, never tired, they lent a graciousness to the city that seemed to be in secret league with the sunny atmosphere to conjure up its lighthearted spell.”

“Soneto de Fiestas La Navidad no se trata de decoraciones, Se trata de compasión. Hanukkah no se trata de las sufganiyot, Se trata de unificación. El Ramadán no se trata de comida, Se trata de cariño. Diwali no se trata de luces, Se trata de la ascensión. Nuestro mundo está lleno de festivales, Pero ¿qué significan realmente? Al celebrarlos con exclusividad cultural, No somos humanos sino animales salvajes. Cada fiesta pertenece a toda la humanidad, Porque la felicidad no tiene identidad religiosa.”

“—Ten cuidado —dijo James, mientras hacía un gesto de advertencia casi automático—. Creo que eso es fruta de hadas. No tiene efecto sobre los brujos, me refiero a efectos mágicos, claro, pero sobre los humanos... Ella se apartó. —Seguro que si no la comes no puede hacerte nada. —Oh, claro que no. Pero he conocido a gente que la ha probado. Dicen que cuanto más comes, más quieres, y más sufres si no puedes tenerla. Y aun así..., siempre he pensado..., ¿el no saber cómo sabe es otra forma de tortura? ¿La tortura de la duda?”

“with a country of rare picturesqueness for a background, a people of rare beauty for actors, everybody more or less permeated with the artistic instinct and everybody more or less writing poetry - California has a pageant for breakfast, a fiesta for luncheon and a carnival for dinner. They are always electing queens. In fact any girl in California who hasn't been a queen of something before she's twenty-one is a poor prune.”

“The Wyoming game in 1974, my third year as head coach. My first year, we were 7-4; the second year, we went 5-6; the third year started out 0-3-1. Some of the players got together and had a team meeting to get a few things straightened out. Starting with the Wyoming game, we won 6 straight games and won our first conference championship, the second in BYU's history. We went to the Fiesta Bowl, the first of many bowl games for the Cougars.”

“There is not going to be a "hydrogen economy," and no combination of alternative energy systems or fuels will allow us to continue the suburban pattern. It's finished. We will, however, desperately need to grow more of our food closer to home, and so the preservation of agricultural hinterlands is of great importance. But don't expect the fiesta of suburban construction to continue more than a few more years.”

“A political convention is after all not a meeting of a corporation's board of directors; it is a fiesta, a carnival, a pig-rooting, horse-snorting, band-playing, voice-screaming medieval get-together of greed, practical lust, compromised idealism, career-advancement, meeting, feud, vendetta, conciliation, of rabble-rousers, fist fights (as it used to be), embraces, drunks (again as it used to be) and collective rivers of animal sweat.”

“After attending a banquet honoring the 1974 BYU team that won the Western AthleticConference and went to the Fiesta Bowl. It was the first of Edwards' 18 WAC champions and 21 bowl teams. That was the group of kids that totally changed the direction of my life and the direction of our football program. We started 0-3-1 and won seven or eight in a row. They were the first bowl team in school history. I hadn't really accomplished anything yet. To see all those guys reminded me where we've been. It was an emotional night.”
