Famous quotes containing the words american and/or trust:

    The American ideal is youth—handsome, empty youth.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
