Famous quotes containing the words north america, churches, north and/or america:
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives.

—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Universities are, of course, hostile to geniuses, which seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Refinement’s origin:

rice-planting song.”

“In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
