Hortensia set the tray down and brought a shawl and wrapped it protectively around Mama's shoulders. Esperanza couldn't remember a time when Hortensia had not taken care of them. She was a Zapotec Indian from Oaxaca, with a short, solid figure and blue-black hair in a braid down her back. Esperanza watched the two women look out into the dark and couldn't help but think that Hortensia was almost the opposite of Mama. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
I always say that the problem with jazz accessibility is not the content of the music, it's people's ability to access it. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
The music that I make is pretty sincere; it's from my heart and I love it, and what just happened is more people have started to connect with my heart, and I haven't followed some kind of marketing scheme, ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
If you don't already know about jazz music, how would you be exposed? How would get an opportunity to find out if it spoke to you? If you get exposed to it enough, you might find a taste for it. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Big Cyndi is six-six and on the planetoid side of three hundred pounds, the former intercontinental tag-team wrestling champion with Esperanza, aka Big Chief Mama to Esperanza's Little Pocahontas. Her head was cube shaped and topped with hair spiked to look like the Statue of Liberty on a bad acid trip. She wore more makeup than the cast of Cats, her clothing form-fitted like sausage casing, her scowl the stuff of sumos. ~ Harlan Coben
Esperanza quotes by Harlan Coben
Oh Esperanza!' said Isabel, jumping up and down and clapping.'I think my heart is dancing. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
At the end of the day, Esperanza stepped into Myron's office, sat down, and said, "I don't know much about family values or what makes a happy family. I don't know the best way to raise a kid or what you have to do to make him happy and well adjusted, whatever the hell 'well adjusted' means. I don't know if it's best to be an only child or have lots of siblings or be raised by two parents or a single parent or a gay couple or a lesbian couple or an overweight albino. But I know one thing." Myron looked up at her and waited. "No child could ever be harmed by having you in his life." Esperanza ~ Harlan Coben
Esperanza quotes by Harlan Coben
I like to read, and I like dance. I don't dance, but I like to see other people dance. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Whoever you are, if you know what you're doing, you don't want other people to overtake the merit of your art. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
There's enough time in the day: If you go to bed at 10 and start your day at 6, there's a lot you can do in a day! ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
I just think music is so intrinsically linked with images in the culture that we live in that you'll be hard-pressed to have an experience with the music without a preconceived notion. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
People are more used to seeing men who are masters at an instrument than women. When people say, 'Oh, she plays like a dude,' it's usually dudes who are the ones saying it. They're saying, 'Oh, she's as good as us.' Of course, that's a stupid statement. It's totally stereotypical to say, 'We have an advantage on this, and if anyone else can do it well, it's only because they're like us.' I think more men are starting to learn that this attitude is totally hollow and based in imagination. As more women are involved in music, this kind of thing gets said less and less. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
On nights that I'm feeling a need to stretch personally and artistically, I tend to put together outfits that are very quirky, mismatched and over-the-top eclectic. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza! Wake up!" screamed Mama. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
Genre boundaries are good for marketing but they all but disappear when you're a player. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Just give me the antibiotic," Esperanza said. "Of course I'll be infected again! I'm a prostitute. ~ John Irving
Esperanza quotes by John Irving
Esperanza leaned around the side of the truck. As they rounded a curve, it appeared as if the mountains pulled away from each other, like a curtain opening on stage, revealing the San Joaquin Valley beyond. Flat and spacious, it spread out like a blanket of patchwork fields. Esperanza could see no end to the plots of yellow, brown, and shades of green. The road finally leveled out on the valley floor, and she gazed back at the mountains from where they'd come. They looked like monstrous lions' paws resting at the edge of ridge. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
Con esperanza no se come. Hope does not get you anything to eat. ~ Jay Burnett
Esperanza quotes by Jay Burnett
Esperanza handed him a slip of paper. "Here's the office number for Susan Lex, Dennis's older sister." Myron read the number like it was in code and might mean something. "I had another thought. ~ Harlan Coben
Esperanza quotes by Harlan Coben
When I read, you know, a rough neighborhood of Portland, I'm like - what? - they didn't have kombucha bars there? ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza, that you, ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan

Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza quotes by Don Winslow
Jazz has always been a melting pot of influences and I plan to incorporate them all. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
In a plane again, Ashley thought sourly, her nose pressed to the window. Down below, glacier fought granite from horizon to horizon. This was the final leg of the two-day journey. Yesterday, they had flown the eight hundred miles from Buenos Aires to Esperanza, the Argentine army base on the tip on an Antarctic Peninsula. There, Ashley had her first taste of Antarctic air - like ice water poured into her lungs. ~ James Rollins
Esperanza quotes by James Rollins
Esperanza means hope in Spanish. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
I was terrified. No matter how far I fell, something pulled me back to safety - school and its occasional fascinating gift, dopey, well-meaning men, and books, books, that's where I found her most often, in the intimacies of characters, Ruth and Sylvie in a towboat, Esperanza on Mango Street, Anna K., of course, right before she jumps. ~ Julie Buntin
Esperanza quotes by Julie Buntin
I don't know how you go on, but I really hope you'll keep doing it. That you won't give up esperanza. I thought of that last night. Esperanza is all you get, no second chances. What you have to do is try and think of reasons to stick it out. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Esperanza quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
I never think my music isn't easy until I got to teach it to other people. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Myron shook his head. "This is too weird," he said. "I saw Carl heading out," Esperanza said. "What did he want?" "He came by with a maid from the Court Manor. Guess who Jack Coldren was linking up with for a little afternoon delight?" "Tonya Harding?" "Close. Norm Zuckerman." Esperanza tilted her head back and forth, as though sizing up an abstract work at the Met. "I'm not surprised. About Norm anyway. Think about it. Never married. No family. In public, he always surrounds himself with young, beautiful women. ~ Harlan Coben
Esperanza quotes by Harlan Coben
My earliest attempts at writing were when I was seven. I would sit at the piano and transcribe the songs I heard on the radio. I'd change little things in the music and write different lyrics. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Stallions," Frank said, "they're fightin' over a girl. - DANIEL'S ESPERANZA ~ Veronica Randolph Batterson

Esperanza quotes by Rick Riordan
I grew up with an incredibly loving and supportive family that gave me the impression there were a lot of options for me out there. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
An enormous bartender came over. He looked like the pullout centerfold for Leather Biker Monthly. Extra big and extra scary. He had long hair, a long scar, and tattoos of snakes slithering up both arms. He shot the two men a glare and - poof - they were gone. Like the glare had evaporated them. Then he turned his eyes toward Esperanza. She met the glare and gave him one back. Neither backed down. "Lady, what the fuck are you?" he asked. "Is that a new way of asking what I'm drinking?" "No." The mutual glaring continued. He leaned two massive snake-arms on the bar. "You're too good-looking to be a cop," he said. "And you're too good-looking to be hanging out in this toilet. ~ Harlan Coben
Esperanza quotes by Harlan Coben
Anything I do has to have integrity, so if you just want to make music, it's not difficult finding support. The hard part for a publicist or manager is making a star. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
It's a pity that if someone who has a really profoundly potent art to share chooses not to or doesn't fit into this very thin slice of what's desirable and marketable, chances are the public will never get a chance to hear what they're doing. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
Our Land is alive, Esperanza, -Esperanza Rising ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Esperanza quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
I don't watch TV, I don't spend time on the Internet, and I don't party much. I don't text very much, either. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
What I'm identifying with is the vision or the idea - whatever was the little nugget that started it. ~ Esperanza Spalding
Esperanza quotes by Esperanza Spalding
I did grow up in a rough neighborhood in Portland, which is an abstract concept for anybody who's rolled through Portland because now it looks like a TV set, literally. ~ Esperanza Spalding
