America... It is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time. Of Time and the River (1935)
In New York the opportunities for learning, and acquiring a culture that shall not come out of the ruins, but belong to life, are probably greater than anywhere else in the world. Of Time and the River (1935)
Who owns the earth? Did we want the earth that we should wander on it? Did we need the earth that we were never still upon it? Whoever needs the earth shall have the earth: he shall be still upon it, he shall rest within a little place, he shall dwell in one small room for ever. Of Time and the River (1935)
