Text Quotes
Most of us are aware of the sacrificial slaughter of Bear Sterns. Some people call it a bailout, but I call it a handout - a government handout to some of the richest people on Earth, paid for by American taxpayers.  (American Quotes) My definition, a definition in the drill books from the time that General Von Steuben wrote the regulations for General George Washington, the definition of the object of military training is success in battle... It wouldn’t be any sense to have a military organization on the backs of the American taxpayers with any other definition.  (American Quotes) American television tends to move faster than European or U.K. television.  (American Quotes) When you have the first show set in India on American television, there’s gonna be a Nervous Nellie kind of vibe.  (American Quotes) Most of my life I was occupied with American television and American food. My ethnicity was my choice. It still is.  (American Quotes) There’s no mistaking the fact that some of the best longform fiction out there now is in American television. ‘The Wire’ and ‘Deadwood’ and ‘The Sopranos.’  (American Quotes) I’m not seeing tough questions asked on American television. I’m not seeing those correspondents that would question those in power. It’s like a club. We are not asking the tough questions.  (American Quotes) The best of American television is thought-provoking, original, brilliant, exciting - from ‘The Sopranos’ on, whether it’s ‘The Wire’ or ‘Breaking Bad’ or ‘House of Cards,’ they’re fantastic pieces of art.  (American Quotes) I grew up watching a lot of American television and so the American sound has been in my psyche somehow for a long time and is quite familiar and so that does make it easier.  (American Quotes) My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though.  (American Quotes) I didn’t watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I’d like every movie I saw.  (American Quotes) Heroes’, ‘Desperate Housewives’, ‘The Sopranos’ - they’re all very stylised. ‘The Wire’ is much more rooted in realism and honesty. In American television, I can’t think of anything I’d rather have been in because it has got something to say and that is the kind of thing I want to do.  (American Quotes) Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object  (American Quotes) I’ve been watching American baseball on television for a long time, but it was only in recent years that, realistically, I’ve been thinking about playing here.  (American Quotes) One of the great upsides to a national book tour is the chance to break out of television’s cocoon and interact directly with the American people.  (American Quotes) Pete Rozelle used television to get the game to the American public by creating the Super Bowl and making it the biggest sporting event in the world.  (American Quotes) Once typecast as the indispensable altarpiece of a well-appointed living room, TVs have infected every human environment. The average American household has more television sets than people.  (American Quotes) The only way to be true to our American tradition is to maintain absolute governmental neutrality regarding religious beliefs and practices.  (American Quotes) The great American tradition is one of pluralism, not exclusive secularism. The strength of our country is reflected in the contributions that we all make to the common good.  (American Quotes) When they talk about family values, it’s in a repressive way, as if our American tradition were only the Puritan tradition or the 19th century oppressive tradition. The Christian tradition.  (American Quotes) The freedom to be able to offer education, human services, and health care in accordance with our own identity as a church should not be denied us simply because there may be the perception of a political majority who favors a new understanding of the American tradition of pluralism.  (American Quotes) Hating Wall Street is an American tradition that dates back even to the days when Thomas Jefferson cursed that money lover Alexander Hamilton. And for centuries, the complaints about it have largely stayed the same: ‘It does nothing! It creates chaos! It’s a parasite that sucks hardworking Americans dry!’  (American Quotes) There is an increasing push to compartmentalize faith separately from our life in the public square - and it’s not possible - at least, it’s not possible if we continue the American tradition of true individual freedom, which also implies individual responsibility. Without an objective moral standard, that’s not possible.  (American Quotes) I’ve always been interested in photographing traditions and customs - especially in America. The prom is an American tradition, a rite of passage that has always been one of the most important rituals of American youth. It is a day in our lives that we never forget - a day full of hopes and dreams for our future.  (American Quotes) The principle of self defense is an American tradition that began at Lexington and Concord  (American Quotes) It’s the tradition of American writers getting away in order to see the country - to get a better view.  (American Quotes) My work holds up the mirror to hypocrisy, which puts me in a tradition of American writing that reaches back to Nathaniel Hawthorne.  (American Quotes) Conventional wisdom holds that setting a timetable for getting American troops out of Iraq would be a mistake.  (American Quotes) It was helpful to have the American troops there in great strength. They knew there’d be consequences if they didn’t move back. Now, there has been some removal of the foreign forces.  (American Quotes) In early 1961 a new president, John F. Kennedy, was told by military leaders and civilian officials that the Kingdom of Laos - of no conceivable strategic importance to the U.S. - required the presence of American troops and perhaps even tactical nuclear weapons. Why? Because if Laos fell, Asia would go red from Thailand to Indonesia.  (American Quotes)
