“From the American newspapers, you'd think America was populated by naked women and cinema stars”
Nancy Witcher Astor Viscountess
“If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
Malcolm X
“If most men and women were forced to rely upon physical charm to attract lovers, their sexual lives would be not only meager but in a youth-worshiping country like America, painfully brief.”
Gore Vidal
“We need to guarantee equal rights and civil rights and say that, here in America, workers have the right to organize - women have the right to choose - and justice belongs to everyone regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation.”
Senator John Kerry
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”
Winston Churchill
“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.”
Oscar Wilde
“An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.”
George Bernard Shaw
