Famous quotes containing the words america and/or promise:

    What if we fail to stop the erosion of cities by automobiles?... In that case America will hardly need to ponder a mystery that has troubled men for millennia: What is the purpose of life? For us, the answer will be clear, established and for all practical purposes indisputable: The purpose of life is to produce and consume automobiles.
    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    her fine blades making the air wince
    but her cargo
    no promise then:
    delivered
    palpable
    ours.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
