Text Quotes
Traditional American values: Genocide, aggression, conformity, emotional repression, hypocrisy, and the worship of comfort and consumer goods  (American Quotes) Personally, I can’t stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there’s 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don’t know why those directors aren’t asked why they’re such specialists for violence  (American Quotes) Making improvements to our background check system and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking are common-sense ways to prevent violence without punishing law abiding gun owners. We owe it to the American people to take real action to reduce gun violence in our communities  (American Quotes) My experience politically has always been that one-word definition of politics: money. Keep your eye on the buck. And that tells you where the American people are going to be  (American Quotes) Everyone says we have our first African American president. Has there ever been a Jewish president? An Italian president? They don’t say a damn thing about that. You think we’re still fighting the Civil War or something. If you want to mention it in passing, OK. But don’t dwell on it  (American Quotes) Success is the American Dream. And that success is not something to be ashamed of, or to demonize  (American Quotes) Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires  (American Quotes) The American people want to know that when they borrow a book from the library or buy a book, the government won’t be looking over their shoulder. Everybody wants to fight terrorism, but we have to do it in away that protects American freedom  (American Quotes) The national Democratic leadership is going so far left, they’ve left America. Don’t let them bury the American dream in their graveyard of gloom and envy  (American Quotes) We are creating a political demolition derby, not a presidential debate. Those strange impulses in the American soul that have produced mud wrestling and The Gong Show seem to have claimed the national campaign  (American Quotes) The coverage of Central America in recent months points up one of the ugly truths about the American press: the better the news, the less of it you get. As the war began to turn against the Communist guerillas in El Salvador, there was a palpable dip in the attention paid to it  (American Quotes) The most popular American fiction seems to be about successful people who win, and good crime fiction typically does not explore that world. But honestly, if all crime fiction was quality fiction, it would be taken more seriously  (American Quotes) I had a list of things that science fiction, particularly American science fiction, to me seemed to do with tedious regularity. One was to not have strong female protagonists. One was to envision the future, whatever it was, as America  (American Quotes) I have some art, but I am a hobbyist. I would not consider myself an expert but in the course of writing this novel I became very familiar with the various movements in American Modern Art from 1900 onwards  (American Quotes) Anybody who knows me knows I’m passionate about American football. I gave this game everything I had. In college, that’s what I looked to do. Everything. Everything for so long, and all you hear growing up is that hard work pays off, hard work pays off, hard work pays off  (American Quotes) United States has always been very close to Africa and it’s very sad now to see that Africa has a lot more friends - a lot more engagements with the Chinese, with the Indians, with the Brazilians as the United States retreats. Actually, Africa is a wonderful place to do business and American business is missing a big opportunity by really overlooking Africa  (American Quotes) I’ve lived the American dream. I was born and raised on the farm, first in my family to graduate from college. I spent 13 years working in our family business  (American Quotes) A trillion dollars spent, 2,000 American lives lost - Afghanistan is the longest war in American history. But you don’t hear a word about it  (American Quotes) By the 40s, Sam Goldwyn is a very serious man. By the 50s, he’s the dean of American producers. To the end, he was Hollywood’s gray eminence  (American Quotes) The recommendation by the Arkansas Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee that President Clinton be disbarred is like a tender green shoot of integrity rising from the stinking junkyard of American public life. At last, some official body has come to a decision about Clinton’s conduct that is untainted by politics, cowardice or cynicism  (American Quotes) We choose forward. We choose inclusion. We choose growing together. We choose American economic might and muscle, standing strong on the bedrock of the American ideal: a strong, empowered and ever-growing middle class  (American Quotes) I tell you what Hispanics in Virginia tell me they want. They want access to the American dream. Thats why they come here to Virginia and to America, so they want more opportunities to start small business, better schools  (American Quotes) My first published novel, American Rust, took three and a half years of full-time work to write. But I wrote two apprentice novels before that  (American Quotes) In the early 1970s in Atlanta, I attended what had formerly been an all-white school but had become a black school after integration and white flight. Perhaps because of this, the teachers created a curriculum that included a focus on African American literature and history year-round, not just in February  (American Quotes) I grew up in the American South and came of age in the 1960s, an incredibly turbulent time. It was as if the seams of American life were being ripped apart with riots and protests  (American Quotes) Notable American Women is a weird nougat of a book that suggests Coetzee, Kafka, Beckett, Barthelme, O’Brien, Orwell, Paley, Borges-and none of them exactly. Finally you just have to chew it for its own private juice  (American Quotes) Notable American Women gives us, with great panache and in eerie detail, a world that is cruelly reasonable within the near-religious limitations of its weird laws and customs. It is a book as unique as it is wonderfully strange  (American Quotes) Ben Marcus has created an innovative and unflinching portrait of the turmoil of the human condition, providing the reader a most rare gift: something truly new. Notable American Women contains strains of Donald Antrim and Samuel Beckett but is beholden to neither; it is a brave, original book  (American Quotes) The American Museum of Natural History is my son’s absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York  (American Quotes) I used to go to soul nights because I loved dancing, and so did my friends, and we loved the music. We used to go listen to black American soul  (American Quotes)
