4 Quotes by Bahamian authors

A Bahamian voice carries salt on the tongue and a drumbeat under the words. Sayings move like tide, patient, teasing, then sudden with truth. You’ll hear market chatter and church hush, Junkanoo bravado and porchlight counsel. Humor cuts clean, respect for elders stands firm, and hardship meets a grin that won’t blink at hurricanes. The islands teach thrift, neighborliness, and a freedom that minds its manners. Expect riddling wisdom, bright idiom, and the steady rake-and-scrape of experience keeping time.
