Famous quotes containing the word america:

    His singing carried me back to the period of the discovery of America ... when Europeans first encountered the simple faith of the Indian. There was, indeed, a beautiful simplicity about it; nothing of the dark and savage, only the mild and infantile. The sentiments of humility and reverence chiefly were expressed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
