“The one thing I miss is hitchhiking. Now there's no more of that. When's the last time you saw a hitchhiker? It's not that I consider it a great sport, but it was my way of seeing the country.

“When you look back at the fight against Communism, one thing that is striking is the degree to which we [the United States] were carried on by our own values.

“One thing I like about the United States, and I kind of miss about the United States, is there's an election coming up here in England, but no one's going to have a sign in front of their house. Nobody's going to wear buttons. And in France, same thing. In America I like that people have signs and buttons and bumper stickers. Sometimes you'll smile at someone from a distance, then you'll get up close and you'll see their pin, and you're like, "Oh my god.

“America ... holds up its way of life as the ideal for every nation, and seeks to impose its own standards of living - which many people think ridiculously and unwholesomely high - on others, partly of course in the search for markets. If it were openly stated that it was just a search for markets, that would be one thing, but it is not; by a tremendous propaganda campaign this materialistic conception is held up as an ideal, as somehow part of liberty, and above all, as a form of happiness.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayWould BeAmericaFormCoursesNationsLibertyUnited StatesOne ThingStandardsIdealsCampaignsPropagandaConceptionImperialismGlobalizationMaterialisticStandards Of Living Author:Ann Bridge
“This is one thing that's very interesting, how the people on the left always talk about separation of church and state.
