Amerika / America Emotional Geschenk / Gift Gewesen / Been Stabilität / Stability Welt / World
We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.
Even in its third century, America is still the most meritocratic nation in the world.
I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.
In this world, emotion has become suspect - the accepted style is smooth, antiseptic and passionless.
I would say that American poetry has always been a poetry of personal testimony.
Grief is an emotion that's almost unplayable because you're in a separate emotional state; it's an inconsolable emotion.
You don't have to be old in America to say of a world you lived in: That world is gone.
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Only a strong America can guarantee a peaceful world.
