American Lafrance Built

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or built:

“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Let us wander where we will, the universe is built round about us, and we are central still.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
