If you are prepared to accept the consequences of your dreams then you must still regard America today with the same naive enthusiasm as the generations that discovered the New World.

Being human signifies, for each one of us, belonging to a class, a society, a country, a continent and a civilization; and for us European earth-dwellers, the adventure played out in the heart of the New World signifies in the first place that it was not our world and that we bear responsibility for the crime of its destruction.

Claude Levi-Strauss

(1908-, French anthropologist)

The American who first discovered Columbus made a bad discovery.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

(1742-1799, German physicist, satirist)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.

Henry Miller

(1891-1980, American author)

Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.

Lewis Mumford

(1895-1990, American social philosopher)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

John Louis O'Sullivan

Europe and the U.K. are yesterday's world. Tomorrow is in the United States.

R. W. "Tiny" Rowland
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.

Captain J. G. Stedman

(1744-1797, British soldier, author, artist)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
We must build a new world, a far better world -- one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.

Harry S. Truman

(1884-1972, American President (33rd))

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The open frontier, the hardships of homesteading from scratch, the wealth of natural resources, the whole vast challenge of a continent waiting to be exploited, combined to produce a prevailing materialism and an American drive bent as much, if not more, on money, property, and power than was true of the Old World from which we had fled.

Barbara Tuchman

(1912-1989, American historian)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul's, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.

Horace Walpole

(1717-1797, British author)
