Quotes about Camille Cohen Jones
[edit]- She was magnificent in her womanhood—a dark Brunhilda, handsome, large, and free; full of joy and laughter, frank and fearless, never biting her tongue; and yet one who was never still, never dull, always going and doing and dreaming; always alive, always generous, loving and kind.
- Dabney, Wendell Phillips. "Camille Cohen" The Crisis (December 1929): 407.
