American Solutions

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or solutions:

    “Give me this day a faith not personal
    As follows: The American people fully armed
    With assurance policies, righteous and harmed,
    Battle the world of which they’re not at all.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
