American World

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or world:

    The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    I am assured at any rate
    Man’s practically inexterminate.
    Someday I must go into that.
    There’s always been an Ararat
    Where someone someone else begat
    To start the world all over at.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
