One of the things in which we have been most fortunate has been that so far, due perhaps to certain basic virtues in our traditional ways of doing things, we have managed to keep the crisis of western civilization, which has devastated the rest of the world and in which we are as much involved as anybody, more or less at arm’s length.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.”

—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
