Ugly American

Famous quotes containing the words ugly and/or american:

    One must leave one’s parents early, especially one’s mother. Mothers are never any good for their daughters. They forget they were just as ugly and silly and scraggy when they were little girls.
    Robert, Mrs. Henrey (b. 1906)

    The newspaper has debauched the American until he is a slavish, simpering, and angerless citizen; it has taught him to be a lump mass-man toward fraud, simony, murder, and lunacies more vile than those of Commodus or Caracalla.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
