Famous quotes containing the words american, british and/or hit:

    Even American women are not felt to be persons in the same sense as the male immigrants among the Hungarians, Poles, Russian Jews,—not to speak of Italians, Germans, and the masters of all of us—the Irish!
    Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    However British you may be, I am more British still.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    Getting hit really isn’t that bad. The worst part is getting beat.
    Bobbie Lynn Bowen (b. c. 1960)
