“I hear that melting-pot stuff a lot, and all I can say is that we haven't melted.”
Jesse Jackson
“Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them.”
Paul Morand
“Only in the case of the Negro has the melting pot failed to bring a minority into the full stream of American life”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“We have never been a melting pot. The fact is we are more like a tossed salad. We are green, some of us are oily and there's a little vinegar injected when you get up to Ottawa.”
Arnold Edinborough
“The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage.”
Carl N. Degler
“Now the melting pot was full of lumps again.”
Terry Pratchett
“What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists! [People] burn from within... sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. Except sometimes his teeth. Or the heart. No one speaks about this, but its for real.”
Keanu Reeves
