Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or approaches:

    “Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    “Someone approaches to say his life is ruined
    and to fall down at your feet
    and pound his head upon the sidewalk.”
    —David Ignatow (b. 1914)
