Mary McCarthy
In violence, we forget who we are.
McCarthy quotes
To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
McCarthy
The immense popularity of American movies abroad demonstrates that Europe is the unfinished negative of which America is the proof.
