American culture

«Movies are one of the bad habits that corrupted our century. Of their many sins, I offer as the worst their effect on the intellectual side of the nation.

Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades.

Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.»
«I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture»
«I have made more friends for American culture than the State Department. Certainly I have made fewer enemies, but that isn't very difficult.»
«France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.»
«I am not anti-Bush. I am not pro-Iraq. I am pro-peace. I have written a song and created a video which expresses my feelings about our culture and values and illusions of what many people believe is the American dream -- the perfect life.»
