An American tragedy in which we all have played a part.
Gerald R. Ford

American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them.
Neil Gaiman

Yes, I'm a patriotic person. For these people who disgrace the American way and burn our flag and do all of these things... I say, don't live here and disgrace my country. Go live in the Middle East and see how you like it.
Payne Stewart

We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation.
Adolf Galland

I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American.

Neil Young

Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home, wondering why the hell you went.
