Dos Passos

Famous quotes containing the words dos passos, dos and/or passos:

    Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    A man’s got to work for more than himself and his kids to feel right.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    The people of this country are too tolerant. There’s no other country in the world where they’d allow it... After all we built up this country and then we allow a lot of foreigners, the scum of Europe, the offscourings of Polish ghettos to come and run it for us.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
