For other nations, utopia is a blessed past
never to be recovered; for Americans it is just
beyond the horizon.
-- Henry
Kissinger
1923-, American
Republican Politician, Secretary of State
The trouble with us in America isn't that the
poetry of life has turned to prose, but that it
has turned to advertising copy.
-- Louis
Kronenberger
America does to me what I knew it would do: it
just bumps me. The people charge at you like
trucks coming down on you -- no awareness. But
one tries to dodge aside in time. Bump! bump! go
the trucks. And that is human contact.
-- D. H. Lawrence
1885-1930,

America is neither free nor brave, but a land of
tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody
trying to put it over everybody else, and a land
of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of
trust, trust in life's sacred spontaneity. They
can't trust life until they can control it.
-- D. H. Lawrence
1885-1930,
British Author
