Famous quotes containing the words the best, american and/or poetry:
“The best is the enemy of the good.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“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)
“Like a poetry lesson til sooner
Or later it faltered at the line where”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
