Ugly American

Famous quotes containing the words ugly and/or american:

    Nothing is beautiful, except man alone: all aesthetics rests upon this naïveté, which is its first truth. Let us immediately add the second: nothing is ugly except the degenerating man—and with this the realm of aesthetic judgment is circumscribed.

    The American ideal is youth—handsome, empty youth.
