Famous quotes containing the words north america, north and/or america:

    “The Anglo-Saxon hive have extirpated Paganism from the greater part of the North American continent; but with it they have likewise extirpated the greater portion of the Red race. Civilization is gradually sweeping from the earth the lingering vestiges of Paganism, and at the same time the shrinking forms of its unhappy worshippers.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “We should declare war on North Vietnam.... We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
