    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    I’ve come to think of Europe as a hardcover book, America as the paperback version.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    Of one thing I can assure you with comparative certainty, whoever wins, Europe will be economically ruined. This war is America’s great opportunity.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
