America and Americans and Selected Nonfiction (Penguin Classics)
America is not alone in possessing the industrialism, but she is alone in emphasising the ideal that strives with industrialism. Industrial capitalism and ideal democracy are everywhere in controversy; but perhaps only here are they in conflict.
G. K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton • What I Saw in America
Old elephants limp off to the hills to die; old Americans go out to the highway and drive themselves to death with huge cars.
