Famous quotes containing the words large, united, states and/or currency:
“Mr. Goodman’s large soft pinkish face was, and is, remarkably like a cow’s udder.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity—an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Life is a series of sensations connected to different states of consciousness.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic, and sub-atomic, and galactic
structure of things today. And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature! And you will atone! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
