Famous quotes containing the words appearances, american and/or museums:

    What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.
    Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)

    There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.
    Henry James (1843–1816)
