Famous quotes containing the words american and/or association:
“The immense popularity of American movies abroad demonstrates that Europe is the unfinished negative of which America is the proof.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
