Famous quotes containing the words american and/or bell:

    “The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
    —James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    “You always strain tuh be de bell cow, never be de tail uh nothin’.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
