6 Quotes by Belizean authors

Belizean sayings carry salt wind and cohune shade; they mix Kriol wit, Garifuna rhythm, Maya patience, and Mestizo tenderness. They prize straight talk, teasing humor, communal responsibility, and endurance through storms and lean seasons. They value small acts, careful timing, respect for ancestors, and a wary eye for Tata Duende and politics alike. Heard in market banter, fishing skiffs, schoolyards, wakes, and fiestas, they switch tongues effortlessly. Expect salt and cassava, drumming and laughter, and a sober reminder: tides shift, but neighbors remain.
