The American middle class's faith in personal comfort as an end in itself is, in essence, a denial of life. And it has been imposed upon American writers and playwrights strongly enough to cut them off from their deeper sources.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Glaube der amerikanischen Mittelklasse an persönlichen Trost als Selbstzweck ist im Wesentlichen eine Leugnung des Lebens. Und es wurde den amerikanischen Schriftstellern und Dramatikern stark genug auferlegt, um sie von ihren tieferen Quellen abzuschneiden.

This is due partly to the fact that Americans are much better fed than Europeans, and partly to the undeveloped resources of a new country, but more largely to our climate, which acts as a constant stimulus.

I do not think our priorities are misplaced when we are looking at creating a whole new class of children from these gay marriages who could end up completely dependent on the State, on the taxpayers - the American people.

The '20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.
