Before any final solution to American history can occur, a reconciliation must be effected between the spiritual owner of the land - American Indians - and the political owner of the land - American Whites. Guilt and accusations cannot continue to revolve in a vacuum without some effort at reaching a solution. ~ Vine Deloria Jr.
Indian American quotes by Vine Deloria Jr.
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
Indian American quotes by Russell Means
But inside loss there can be gain, too,like the small silver spider Bela had discovered one dewy morning, curled asleep at the center of a rose. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I don't put much stock in remembering things. Being able to forget is a superior skill. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Tell them how we loved all that was beautiful. ~ American Indian
Indian American quotes by American Indian
She lifts her eyes, and there is Death in the corner, but not like a king with his iron crown, as the epics claimed. Why, it is a giant brush loaded with white paint. It descends upon her with gentle suddenness, obliterating the shape of the world. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Bela had thought she knew what love felt like, but when she saw Sanjay at the airport after six long months, her heart gave a great, hurtful lurch, as though it were trying to leap out of her body to meet him. This, she thought. This is it. But it was only part of the truth. She would learn over the next years that love can feel a lot of different ways, and sometimes it can hurt a lot more. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Ebb and flow, ebb and flow, our lives. Is that why we're fascinated by the steadfastness of stars? The water reaches my calves. I begin the story of the Pleiades, women transformed into birds so Swift and bright that no man could snare them. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
As I've written more, and as other Indian American voices have grown around me, I strive harder to find experiences that are unique yet a meaningful and resonant part of the American story. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Indian American quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I went to Dartmouth College so simply by being an Indian-American woman, I was already so statistically interesting. And then the fact that I didn't want to do anything science-related, and I wanted to write comedy plays and act little bit - I mean, I became deeply interesting in college because of how rare that was. ~ Mindy Kaling
Indian American quotes by Mindy Kaling
Being Indian-American, I have tremendous potential to grow facial hair. ~ Vivek Murthy
Indian American quotes by Vivek Murthy
The fuck?" he said.
"The fuck?" said Jess. "The fuck what?"
"It's an American abbreviation," said Martin. " «The fuck?» means «What the fuck?» In America, they're so busy that they don't have time to say the «what». ~ Nick Hornby
Indian American quotes by Nick Hornby
To be a born American citizen seems a guarantee against pauperism; and this, perhaps, springs from the virtue of a vote. ~ Herman Melville
Indian American quotes by Herman Melville
Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life. ~ John F. Kennedy
Indian American quotes by John F. Kennedy
We live in a world in which it's harder to talk about the American in the singular, so we're a multi. We have several different people who represent the United States, so in that sense whiteness, the salience, the importance of whiteness is kind of tamping down some. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Indian American quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
I would never want to write a character who was not thoroughly herself or himself. She's a very specific creature in my mind, and she has her thoughts, which range from skin to American history, philosophy, and the arts. ~ Lynne Tillman
Indian American quotes by Lynne Tillman
The blues has been the foundation of all other American music since the beginning. ~ Willie Dixon
Indian American quotes by Willie Dixon
There are only seven movie stars in the world whose name alone will induce American bankers to lend money for movie productions, and the only woman on the list is Ingrid Bergman. ~ Cary Grant
Indian American quotes by Cary Grant
Black Power is a nihilistic philosophy born out of the conviction that the Negro can't win ... the view that American society is so hopelessly corrupt and enmeshed in evil that there is no possibility of salvation from within. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Indian American quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The difference is in Hostel it's in the theatre - it's in public but it's in a private place. You have to actively make a choice to want to go see it. It's not being forced on anyone. Whereas 24 you can be flipping channels and it's right there in your living room. Anyone has access to that. But that just shows how mainstream it is and how people are seeing this stuff on YouTube. People are scared of it. This is a subject matter that everyone's talking about and everyone's thinking about, particularly in American culture. ~ Eli Roth
Indian American quotes by Eli Roth
In other words, you need to be a bureaucracy in order to survive one. This is the overwhelming narrative of modern American economics, that the individual, particularly the individual without a lot of money, is inherently overmatched. He's a loser. And if he falls into any part of the machine, he goes straight to the bottom.
And then there's the most disturbing truth of all. People assume that a system that favors the rich likes rich people. This isn't true. Our bureaucracies respond to the money rich people have, and they bend to the legal might the rich can hire, but they don't give a damn about rich people. You can be rich and still fall into any one of a dozen financial/legal meat grinders, from an erroneously collapsed credit score to a robo-signed foreclosure to a stolen identity to a retirement account vaporized by institutional theft and fraud.
The system eats up rich people, too, because it's not concerned with protecting any individuals, even the rich ones. These bureaucracies accomplish just two things: they make small piles of money smaller and big piles of money bigger. It's a system that doesn't care whose hands end up holding the bag, or how long those hands get to hold the bag. It just relentlessly creates and punishes losers, who get to sit beneath an ever-narrowing group of winners, who may or may not stay on top for long.
What does get preserved, in all cases, is a small constellation of sprawling, interconnected financial companies, whose na ~ Matt Taibbi
Indian American quotes by Matt Taibbi
The politics of that year [2004] are old now, but the problem remains the same, the real culture clash of American life. It's between the essence of fundamentalism - paternalism, authority, and charity - and the messy imperatives of democracy, "the din of the vox populi" once derided by Abram Vereide. It's the difference between false unity, preached from above, and real solidarity, pledged between brothers and sisters - the kinds who are always bickering. ~ Jeff Sharlet
Indian American quotes by Jeff Sharlet
The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings. ~ Robert Bork
Indian American quotes by Robert Bork
I don't know a politician who enjoys fundraising. The system is such that the American people have lost faith. ~ John McCain
Indian American quotes by John McCain
In 1951, the Columbia University sociologist C. Wright Mills published a study titled White Collar: The American Middle Classes.26 Like Ronald Coase, Mills was fascinated by the rise of large managerial corporations. He argued that these firms, in their pursuit of scale and efficiency, had created a vast tier of workers who carried out repetitive, mechanistic tasks that stifled their imagination and, ultimately, their ability to fully participate in society. In short, Mills argued, the typical corporate worker was alienated. For many, that alienation was captured in the warning printed on the Hollerith punch cards that, thanks to IBM and other data processing firms, became ubiquitous symbols and agents of bureaucratized life during the 1950s and 1960s: "Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate. ~ Moises Naim
Indian American quotes by Moises Naim
At the halfway point of any drunken night, there is a moment when an Indian realizes he cannot turn back toward tradition and that he has no map to guide him toward the future. ~ Sherman Alexie
Indian American quotes by Sherman Alexie
Solving the problems of the Middle East and the threat they pose to the world requires a fundamental change in the region's economic profile.9 The international community would have to make a sizable investment - a Marshall Plan in scale - to bring about change of that magnitude. And that requires American leadership. Even if we cannot afford that right now, we still need a clear economic strategy for the region - a plan for using development aid, trade, and investment to help the region and also serve our interests. ~ Vali Nasr
Indian American quotes by Vali Nasr
And you know, we were talking about American identity, and where we've come from and where we are and where we're headed. We knew that we wanted to have a hopeful ending and we wanted it to be pro-community, and a pro-democracy type of movie. ~ Matt Damon
Indian American quotes by Matt Damon
Learning from the American experience, governments around the world have developed national innovation policies and programs to accelerate their economic prosperity and to help their citizens and companies compete globally. ~ Robert Hormats
Indian American quotes by Robert Hormats
A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy. ~ Camille Paglia
Indian American quotes by Camille Paglia
Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families. ~ Benjamin Rush
Indian American quotes by Benjamin Rush
The function and responsibility of the President is to set before the American people the unfinished business, the things we must do if we are going to succeed as a nation. ~ John F. Kennedy
Indian American quotes by John F. Kennedy
Despite Netanyahu's willingness to make concessions, Clinton and his advisers felt that he was not committed enough to the peace process. As a consequence, Clinton sent his senior election advisers to Israel to run Ehud Barak's campaign.13 The American contribution to Barak's election was so enormous that Israelis widely recognized that Barak owed his office to the Clinton administration. ~ Caroline B. Glick
Indian American quotes by Caroline B. Glick
I can't think of a more mediocre human talent than George Bush. He obviously is a product of family advantage, and he's the worst American President of all time. ~ Randall Robinson
Indian American quotes by Randall Robinson
The American Academy of Pediatrics officially supports breastfeeding, but receives about half a million dollars from Ross, manufacturers of Similac infant formula. ~ Ben Goldacre
Indian American quotes by Ben Goldacre
The idea that we must choose between the method of "winning hearts and minds" and the method of shaping behavior presumes that we have the right to choose at all. This is to grant us a right that we would surely accord to no other power. Yet the overwhelming body of American scholarship accords us this right. ~ Noam Chomsky
Indian American quotes by Noam Chomsky
Instead of begging OPEC to drop its oil prices, let's use American leadership and ingenuity to solve our own energy problems. ~ Pete Domenici
Indian American quotes by Pete Domenici
No one could work harder to be happy," Tocqueville observes of Americans, marveling at the ceaseless, restless energy they expand in search of a better life. Rushing from one thing tho the next, an American will travel hundreds of miles in a day. He will build a house in which to pass his old age and then sell it before the roof is on. He will continually change paths "for fear of missing the shortest cut leading to happiness. ~ Darrin M. McMahon
Indian American quotes by Darrin M. McMahon
It's almost like that's the definition of being American: You love becoming Irish for a day, or becoming Italian ... Or becoming a Negro for four years. ~ Josh Alan Friedman
Indian American quotes by Josh Alan Friedman
This is going to be a very transparent Justice Department. But I'm not gonna sacrifice the safety of the American people or our ability to protect the American homeland. ~ Eric Holder
Indian American quotes by Eric Holder
they were all just as ignorant as Blackstone was of the chancery law system that had long tempered the inequities of Blackstone's beloved Common Law in both England and the American colonies. Under the old doctrine of the femme covert, which Blackstone almost single-handedly revived, married women legally died; they lost their property rights, their rights to contract and sue, and even the right to custody of their own children and possession of their own bodies. At the same time, the states, one by one, acted to correct an "oversight" in their constitutions; in 1798 New York inserted the word male in the section dealing with suffrage. ~ Ann Jones
Indian American quotes by Ann Jones
We're subject to the same forces of capitalism that have built the entire American economy. Strong returns induce more capital flow, which creates more competitors, and you have to evolve and get better, or you die. ~ Kenneth C. Griffin
Indian American quotes by Kenneth C. Griffin
I was beginning to feel that there would never be another American uprising, that the energy was gone, and I have some reasons to think that might be true. I like to point out that the crime rate in America has been declining for a long time, and in my opinion it's because Americans don't even have enough gumption to commit crimes anymore: the creative aspect of crime has fallen into decay. As for the uprising that takes a principled stand against violence, hats off to them, I admire the idealism, but I don't think it's going to accomplish much. ~ Hakim Bey
Indian American quotes by Hakim Bey
The almost egregiously English couple, Cedric and Rosamund Chailey, had slipped quietly away when the conversation turned to God. It had not seemed polite to be present when anything so American was being discussed. ~ Michael Frayn
Indian American quotes by Michael Frayn
Since Social Security was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 to ensure economic security for American workers, poverty among American seniors has dramatically declined. ~ Steve Israel
Indian American quotes by Steve Israel
I knew that good people who wanted to be a part of the American dream have become trapped in dependency because the federal government and the state government had made it in their economic interest not to take a job because the benefits that they didn't work were better. I changed that. ~ George Pataki
Indian American quotes by George Pataki
For the most part, the American film market has become very corporatised, even independent film to a degree, and because of the corporate management mentality, they want to take the safe way. ~ Anthony LaPaglia
Indian American quotes by Anthony LaPaglia
I like looking back at people's faces in the dark. I like noticing details that no one else sees. But I hate it in the old American movies when drivers don't watch the road. ~ Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Indian American quotes by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
There is an optimal balance, depending on the manner of man's life, between the density of human population and the tolerances of nature. This balance, in the case of the United States would seem to me to have been surpassed when the American population reached, at a very maximum, two hundred million people, and perhaps a good deal less. ~ George F. Kennan
Indian American quotes by George F. Kennan
Without the media, the American people won't have the type of information they need to hold their leaders to account. The relationship between government and media has always been strained, and I think most of the time that's a healthy strain. ~ Dan Bartlett
Indian American quotes by Dan Bartlett
Legislation is about three fundamental things - affordability, access, and quality. That's what the American people want. ~ Sylvia Mathews Burwell
Indian American quotes by Sylvia Mathews Burwell
In the Indian culture you never told your parents, your wife, your husband or your children, "I love you." This was not a part of this culture because the moment you say it, it's almost like it's not there. You're only trying to assert it. Love is not an assertion. Love is a supplication. An asserting mind can never be a loving mind. ~ Sadhguru
Indian American quotes by Sadhguru
As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music. ~ Edgar Winter
Indian American quotes by Edgar Winter
I consider the war of America against Britain as the country's war, the public's war, or the war of the people in their own behalf, for the security of their natural rights, and the protection of their own property. ~ Thomas Paine
Indian American quotes by Thomas Paine
The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press. ~ Richard M. Nixon
Indian American quotes by Richard M. Nixon
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
Indian American quotes by Chief Seattle
The legislation I introduced was, according to the veterans' organizations, the most comprehensive piece of legislation offered for them in many decades. Sadly, despite the strong support of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), and other organizations, my legislation only received fifty-six votes on the floor of the Senate - all of the Democrats, but only two Republicans. We needed sixty votes. It turned out that Republicans loved veterans very much, except when it came to funding their needs. If ~ Bernie Sanders
