Something must be radically wrong with a culture and a civilisation when its youth begins to desert it. Youth is the natural time for revolt, for experiment, for a generous idealism that is eager for...

One of the great dilemmas for America will be that American companies will do very well while American workers might not.

Out in the stone-pile the toad squatted with its glowing jewel-eyes and, maybe, its memories. I don’t know if you’ll admit a toad could have memories. But I don’t know, either, if you’ll admit there...

America’s future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.

Whence the possibility of an ideological analysis of Disneyland (L. Marin did it very well in Utopiques, jeux d’espace [Utopias, play of space]): digest of the American way of life, panegyric of American values, idealized...

I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own

Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts.

I don’t think we missed America by that much. It was a huge-volume election that didn’t turn overwhelmingly one way or another, which was what we said was going to happen. There were some nuances,...

…he is unlike the other customers. They sense it too, and look at him with hard eyes, eyes like little metal studs pinned into the white faces of young men […] In the hush his...

Listen to me, kitten. Win or lose, you’ll always be a princess to me.

No wonder I’d never had any friends. I was shockingly bad at it.

Indeed, even if OPEC is not bothered about helping America per say, economic considerations make a lower price as sensible option,

What benefit have the Hindus derived from their contact with Christian nations? The idea generally prevalent in this country about the morality and truthfulness of the Hindus evidently has been very low. Such seeds of...

It seemed to me then – and to be honest, sir, seems to me still – that America was engaged only in posturing. As a society, you were unwilling to reflect upon the shared pain...

It’s not radical Islam that worries the US — it’s independence

American culture enforces such rigid gender roles for male friendships that they are gay unless they materially resemble a beer commercial.

I’m excited to create more awareness about the importance of giving the youth of America a choice. There’s a 24-hour music channel. There’s a 24-hour comedy channel. I believe there’s a 24-hour gay channel coming....

The most pressing problem facing America can’t be solved in Washington DC. True hope and change can’t be found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It can only be found at the foot of the cross on...

The Boy Scouts of America is no longer entirely what people think it is. Essentially, it has been hijacked by religious conservatives.

So, Americans, then. Self-appointed vigilante defenders of the world, kind of like Superman, if Superman was retarded and only fought crime when he felt like it.

Everybody in America is going to have to sacrifice to help us rebuild the Gulf Coast. Every government program, every individual, we are all going to have to sacrifice.

I know students who come to my office who are supposed to go to Amman or America in their fifth year or sixth year … , … The Israelis are telling them, ‘You’re not going...

It is no wonder that Satan hates the family and has hurled his venom against it in the form of Communism.

Racism may be as systemic as it always was. It is the great problem of America. It’s the one stumbling block that I don’t believe was ever smoothed over.

America is not another word for Opportunity to all her sons.

Ainsi donc, en s’alliant à un pouvoir politique, la religion augmente sa puissance sur quelques-uns, et perd l’espérance de régner sur tous.

There is coming a day, when freedom will just be a essence of the mind, an inner dwelling that was once physically attainable. They will tell you where you can live, and what you can...

Come to Washington to help America put pressure on this administration.

I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretence Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all...

America was based on a poetic vision. What will happen when it loses its poetry?

I’ll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. ‘I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.’ ‘I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.’ ‘Hey, wait...

Brave Americans in past wars didn’t die for the actual flag–they died for the freedom it represents, including the freedom to burn it.
