Quote

America makes up its own mind about what it wants to see.

I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.

We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.

Like so many Americans, I am sick and tired of watching the rapid decline of our culture right in front of our eyes.

When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.

Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they're thinking at all.

We, as Americans, have so much to learn here. We have a shockingly low level of global awareness and familiarity and little idea of how the world sees us. And those disturbing facts keep getting us into a lot of trouble.

We're loving something to death in a way, which Americans tend to do a lot.

There's something about the openness of the American people. Yes, we have our faults, but deep down, there's a goodness. America doesn't want to take over the world; in many ways, we don't want to be bothered by the rest of the world.

Americans have discovered the fragility of life, that ominous fragility that the rest of the world either already experienced or is experiencing now with terrible intensity.
