Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or american:

    The Irish say your trouble is their
    trouble and your
    joy their joy? I wish

    The star is the ultimate American verification of Jean Jacques Rousseau’s Emile. His mere existence proves the perfectability of any man or woman. Oh wonderful pliability of human nature, in a society where anyone can become a celebrity! And where any celebrity ... may become a star!
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
