Recently, I've discovered Radiohead and find them to be quite good. So clearly, I'm some kind of musical retard. (Jonathan Ames, Middle-American Gothic) ~ Dave Eggers
American Gothic quotes by Dave Eggers
I am drawn to Americana, and I am drawn to gothic stories, and I love American gothic stories. ~ Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
American Gothic quotes by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
The property is cursed. Death dwells here. These rivers run with the blood of those who came before you. Life may not trespass, and when it tries, it will surely be snuffed out. ~ Denise Daisy
American Gothic quotes by Denise Daisy
Let me remind you all that the first task of American foreign policy is to reduce threats to the United States. ~ Michael Mandelbaum
American Gothic quotes by Michael Mandelbaum
Evangelicals usually fail to challenge the system not just out of concern for evangelism, but also because they support the American system and enjoy its fruits. They share the Protestant work ethic, support laissez-faire economics, and sometimes fail to evaluate whether the social system is consistent with their Christianity. ~ Christian Smith
American Gothic quotes by Christian Smith
What do you imagine the American people would think of me if I wasted my time going to the ball game? ~ Grover Cleveland
American Gothic quotes by Grover Cleveland
They attack the victim, and then the criminal who attacked the victim accuses the victim of attacking him. This is American justice. This is American democracy and those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy. Now, if I'm wrong, put me in jail; but if you can't prove that democracy is not hypocrisy, then don't put your hands on me. ~ Malcolm X
American Gothic quotes by Malcolm X
The British media is sinking down, as the American news media has lowered the bar for all of humanity. British news media is definitely trying to stoop down to that level. Everyone is stooping to the lowest common denominator. ~ John Oliver
American Gothic quotes by John Oliver
The real issue for the public is to figure out which narrative do we want. We can have a bigger government, if that's the public's choice. It'll just require higher taxes on every American. Do you want that, or do you want smaller government, smaller taxes? ~ Glenn Hubbard
American Gothic quotes by Glenn Hubbard
It has now been many months, at the present writing, since I have had a nourishing meal, but I shall soon have one - a modest, private affair, all to myself.

What the American Indian Movement says is that the American Indians are the Palestinians of the United States, and the Palestinians are the American Indians of Europe. ~ Russell Means
American Gothic quotes by Russell Means
The planter class took an additional precautionary step, a step that would later come to be known as a "racial bribe." Deliberately and strategically, the planter class extended special privileges to poor whites in an effort to drive a wedge between them and black slaves. White settlers were allowed greater access to Native American lands, white servants were allowed to police slaves through slave patrols and militias, and barriers were created so that free labor would not be placed in competition with slave labor. These measures effectively eliminated the risk of future alliances between black slaves and poor whites. Poor whites suddenly had a direct, personal stake in the existence of a race-based system of slavery. ~ Michelle Alexander
American Gothic quotes by Michelle Alexander
If Henry James were still with us, he'd not only approve of Paris, He Said, he could have written it himself, though without his serpentine syntax. It's a delicious treat, studded with wise and beautifully observed detail, that places side by side those perpetually fascinating antagonists, the eager, casual American and the meticulous, pleasure-driven French. Christine Sneed knows everyone's intimate secrets and her book is lively, amusing, and, ultimately, kind to pretty much all of them. ~ Rosellen Brown
American Gothic quotes by Rosellen Brown
I believe there's an emerging American majority for progressive economic change. ~ Bill De Blasio
American Gothic quotes by Bill De Blasio
All cultures forged by nations - the noble indigenous past of America, the brilliant civilization of Europe, the wise history of Asian nations, and the ancestral wealth of Africa and Oceania - are corroded by the American way of life. In this way, neoliberalism imposes the destruction of nations and groups of nations in order to reconstruct them according to a single model. This is a planetary war, of the worst and cruelest kind, waged against humanity. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
American Gothic quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
The American formula things are out there but they don't have any stories to tell - we have all the stories to tell - but they're all formula. ~ Yahoo Serious
American Gothic quotes by Yahoo Serious
We are the in midst of a bipartisan moment as it relates to criminal justice reform and dealing with mass incarceration in America which disproportionately impacts the African-American community. ~ Hakeem Jeffries
American Gothic quotes by Hakeem Jeffries
Why so much interest in Uganda? Why are American conservatives lobbing for hate? The answer is that they feel they have lost the culture war here at home and are exporting their outdated ideas to the developing world. ~ Roger Ross Williams
American Gothic quotes by Roger Ross Williams
Opportunities like eggs, come one at a time. ~ American Proverb.
American Gothic quotes by American Proverb.
I think one of the most destructive things in terms of American security has been for all of our leaders, without exception in both parties, to identify Osama bin Laden as a gangster or as a madman, as an apocalyptic character who's out to destroy our civilization. ~ Michael Scheuer
American Gothic quotes by Michael Scheuer
I believe that American engagement, through our embassy, our businesses, and most of all through our people, is the best way to advance our interests and support for democracy and human rights. ~ Chris Christie
American Gothic quotes by Chris Christie
I've tried to move on with my life and my career for the last two years and do my own thing, and 'American Idol' and FOX, they've just been making it really tough for me to do that. ~ Corey Clark
American Gothic quotes by Corey Clark
Driving a hybrid car could save about one ton of carbon-dioxide emissions per year but adopting a plant-based diet would save nearly one and a half tons over a comparable period."

"If every American reduced chicken consumption by one meal per week, the carbon-dioxide savings would be equivalent to removing 500,000 cars form the road."

In a given year, "the number of animals killed to satisfy American palates is 8.6 billion, or 29 animals per average American meat eater. The total number of animals killed on land and sea was approximately 80 billion, or 270 per American meat and fish eater - making the average number of animals consumed in one American lifetime 21,000. ~ Gene Stone
American Gothic quotes by Gene Stone
I read American sagas (of the west) and I do not see people who went in search of material things. I see people who wrote down that what they sought was an escape from an old world which dictated their conscience and established their merit based on who their parents. ~ Alan Keyes
American Gothic quotes by Alan Keyes
She wanted me to love her... and stranger still, i wanted to love and be loved by her. Death had become romantic again. ~ J.D. Clair
American Gothic quotes by J.D. Clair
Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love. ~ Barbra Streisand
American Gothic quotes by Barbra Streisand
Health care is not just another commodity. It is not a gift to be rationed based on the ability to pay. It is time to make universal health insurance a national priority, so that the basic right to health care can finally become a reality for every American. ~ Edward Kennedy
American Gothic quotes by Edward Kennedy
Science proceeds by inference, rather than by the deduction of mathematical proof. A series of observations is accumulated, forcing the deeper question: What must be true if we are to explain what is observed? What "big picture" of reality offers the best fit to what is actually observed in our experience? American scientist and philosopher Charles S. Peirce used the term "abduction" to refer to the way in which scientists generate theories that might offer the best explanation of things. The method is now more often referred to as "inference to the best explanation." It is now widely agreed to be the philosophy of investigation of the world characteristic of the natural sciences. ~ Alister E. McGrath
American Gothic quotes by Alister E. McGrath
I was brought up on the romance of American achievement. No matter where you start, if you work hard and if you think positively and if you dream dreams and if you have good character, you can lift the status of yourself, your family, your friends and everyone around you. This doesn't mean that your object in life is to become rich or famous. Just do the best you can with yourself. I think that Almighty God has put that into us and I'm going to do the best I can with myself. That's what I call the romance of achievement. Achievement means to be what, by the grace of God, you can be ... ~ Norman Vincent Peale
American Gothic quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Nico was gothic, but she was Mary Shelley gothic to everyone else's Hammer horror film gothic. They both did Frankenstein, but Nico's was real. ~ Peter Murphy
American Gothic quotes by Peter Murphy
I consider the television set as the American fireplace, around which the whole family will gather. ~ Red Skelton
American Gothic quotes by Red Skelton
Having examined the nature of fractional reserve and of central banking, and having seen how the questionable blessings of Central Banking were fastened upon America, it is time to see precisely how the Fed, as presently constituted, carries out its systemic inflation and its control of the American monetary system. ~ Murray Rothbard
American Gothic quotes by Murray Rothbard
The most distinguished hallmark of the American society is and always has been change. ~ Eric Sevareid
American Gothic quotes by Eric Sevareid
American agents ... are the only persons authorized to hold councils of a political nature. ~ Zebulon Pike
American Gothic quotes by Zebulon Pike
There is a terrible, mean American resentment toward a writer who tries to do many things. ~ Susan Sontag
American Gothic quotes by Susan Sontag
You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. ~ Chief Seattle
American Gothic quotes by Chief Seattle
Are you attracted by his new ideas or his new poll ratings? ~ Pat Buchanan
American Gothic quotes by Pat Buchanan
The Reagan Administration has fostered a climate in which a barest majority of the Supreme Court caters to the passions and hatreds of the American mob, stripping away the constitutional shield outside our bedrooms ... How tragically ironic that an Administration that promised to get Government "off our backs" is now so active in draping Government gumshoes over every part of our anatomies. ~ Carl T. Rowan
American Gothic quotes by Carl T. Rowan
For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew--or a Quaker--or a Unitarian--or a Baptist. It was Virginia's harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson's statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim- -but tomorrow it may be you--until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.

Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end--where all men and all churches are treated as equal--where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice--where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind--and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.

That is the kind of America in which I believe. And it represents the kind of Presidency in which I believe--a great office that must neither be humbled by making it the instrument of any one religious group nor tarnished by arbitrarily withholding its occupancy from the members of any one religious group. I believe in a President whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a ~ John F. Kennedy
American Gothic quotes by John F. Kennedy
If you're really successful at bullshitting, it means you're not hanging around enough people smarter than you. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
American Gothic quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
I'm an American searching for some sort of parameters, a way of life - I'm looking for a slight formality, for a place where you can never be overdressed. ~ Waris Ahluwalia
American Gothic quotes by Waris Ahluwalia
There's a ghost in this house! An unquiet spirit!"
Unquiet spirit?" Shane said under his breath. "Is that politically correct for pissed off? You know, like Undead American or something? ~ Rachel Caine
