Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or approaches:

    “Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “No one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
