"We go forth all to seek America. And in the seeking we create her. In the quality of our search shall be the nature of the America that we created."	Waldo Frank
"American housewives have not had their brains shot away, nor are they schizophrenic in the clinical sense.

Betty Naomi Friedan
"America is closer to the year 2 than anywhere else on earth."	David Frost
"What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others."	Carlos Fuentes
"The junior senator from Wisconsin, by his reckless charges, has so preyed upon the fears and hatreds and prejudices of the American people that he has started a prairie fire which neither he nor anyone else may be able to control."	J(ames) William Fulbright
"I was looking for an American symbol. A Coca-Cola bottle or a Mickey Mouse would have been ridiculous, doing anything with the American flag would have been insulting, and Cadillac hub caps were just too uncomfortable."

"Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years."	William Golding
"Certain people in the United States are driving nails into this structure of our relationship, then cutting off the heads. So the Soviets must use their teeth to pull them out."	Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev
"The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people."	Phil Gramm

Robert Hewison
