Famous quotes containing the words united states, united, states and/or america:

    “The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”
    —Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)

    “... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “Sean Thornton: I don’t get this. Why do we have to have you along. Back in the states I’d drive up, honk the horn, a gal’d come runnin’ out.
    Mary Kate Danaher: Come a runnin’. I’m no woman to be honked at and come a runnin’.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
