American Quotes (page 57)

Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Everybody knows that the dumbest people in any American..."
Everybody knows that the dumbest people in any American university are in the education department, and English after that. Kurt Vonnegut

When an American family becomes separated from its toothbrushes and combs and pajamas for a few hours it considers that it has had quite an adventure. E. B. White
Japanese people today think of money, just money: Where is our national spirit today? The Jieitai must be the soul of Japan. … The nation has no spiritual foundation.

I'd like to see North America become a dry, sunny, sandy region inhabited mainly by lizards, buzzards and a modest human population - about 25 million would be plenty - of pastoralists and prospectors (prospecting for truth), gathering once a year in the ruins of ancient, mysterious cities for great ceremonies of music, art, dance, poetry, joy, faith and renewal. That's my dream of the American future. Like most such dreams, it will probably come true. That is why I'm still an optimist. Edward Abbey

We've become a nation of indoor cats, he'd said. A nation of doubters, worriers, overthinkers. Thank God these weren't the kind of Americans who settled this country. They were a different breed! They crossed the country in wagons with wooden wheels! People croaked along the way, and they barely stopped. Back then, you buried your dead and kept moving. Dave Eggers

This process, one of trading the state to outside owners in exchange for their (it now seems) entirely temporary agreement to enrich us, in toher words the pauperization of California, had in fact begun at the time Americans first entered the state, took what they could, and, abetted by the native weekness for boosterism, set about selling the rest. Joan Didion
Atwater knew? as did everyone at Style, though by some strange unspoken consensus it was never said aloud? that this was the single great informing conflict of the American psyche. The management of insignificance. It was the great syncretic bond of US monoculture. David Foster Wallace
You're in Ireland the summer after you left college and you're drinking at a pub near the castle where every day bus loads of English and American tourists come to kiss the Blarney Stone. Chuck Palahniuk
... as long as American life was something to be escaped from, the cartel would always be assured a bottomless pool of new customers. Thomas Pynchon
No white American ever thinks that any other race is wholly civilized until he wears the white man’s clothes, eats the white man’s food, speaks the white man’s language, and professes the white man’s religion. Booker T. Washington
