Famous quotes containing the word america:

    I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)

    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)
