Famous quotes containing the words united states, united, states and/or america:
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The United States is not a nation to which peace is a necessity.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
“I would like to be the first ambassador to the United States from the United States.”
—Barbara Mikulski (b. 1936)
“In America all too few blows are struck into flesh. We kill the spirit here, we are experts at that. We use psychic bullets and kill each other cell by cell.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
