The surveillance of ordinary people is far greater than I would have imagined and far greater than the American public has been able to debate.

Quotes by Barton Gellman

In late 2003, the Bush administration reversed a long-standing policy requiring agents to destroy their files on innocent American citizens, companies and residents when investigations closed.

Quotes by Barton Gellman

It turns out that American Express honors recurring payments even if the vendor is unable to supply an accurate card number and expiration date. An Amex phone representative said this is a feature, not a bug, which makes sure my bills are paid.

Quotes by Barton Gellman

Israeli interests are not necessarily in harmony with the American interests.

Quotes by Bashar al-Assad

The Israeli lobby has clout in the U.S., which means that re-arranging the region and controlling its resources one way or another, will serve Israel through its control over the American administration.

Quotes by Bashar al-Assad

There is a shortage of doctors, and the American Medical Association is aiming to keep it that way.

Quotes by Barry Ritholtz

The Clinton tax increase - which was an increase in taxes primarily on upper-income people - not only made the tax code more nearly progressive, it preceded one of the most productive economic periods in American life.

Quotes by Barney Frank

The American system of democracy is founded on the concept that every citizen has the right to vote, to know that their vote is counted, and that the vote is counted accurately.

Quotes by Barbara Mikulski

College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.

Quotes by Barbara Mikulski

To many American Jews, it is a truism that Barack Obama was the anti-Israel president. It was Mr. Obama who signed the Iran deal, which Israel portrayed as a mortal danger. It was Mr. Obama whose most contentious relationship with a foreign leader was with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

One area where American Jews have something to teach Israel is religious pluralism, something that living in a democracy with a separation between church and state has helped us fine-tune.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

I'd venture a bet that no American hates 'Prairie Home Companion' more than I do.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

In my experience, American office Christmas parties mean that everyone gets a thimbleful of lukewarm Champagne in a plastic cup.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

One of the casualties of Israel becoming an increasingly partisan issue has been American Jews themselves, who vote overwhelmingly Democratic and who see Israel's rightward turn as betraying fundamental liberal values.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

Let's all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable.

Quotes by Barbara Jordan

Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us.

Quotes by Barbara Jordan

Libraries are the one American institution you shouldn't rip off.

Quotes by Barbara Kingsolver

If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture - not only national culture but global culture.

Quotes by Barbara Kruger

We must use all the tools of American power in resolving disputes, including diplomacy. And we must have sufficient congressional debate and oversight before ever putting another U.S. solider in harm's way.

Quotes by Barbara Lee

There is a kind of misconception that Asian-Americans are not as American as European-Americans.

Quotes by B. D. Wong

I finally returned to Iran in 1979, when I got my degree in English and American literature, and stayed for 18 years in the Islamic republic.

Quotes by Azar Nafisi

I love American girls. They're audacious. They put more outrageous things on their bodies than anybody.

Quotes by Azzedine Alaia

No one in the American Enterprise imposes their beliefs. We clash, and I think that's what the West is all about.

Quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

At the time of the formation of the euro, I would say most American economists said that's not a good idea; that's not a currency area that makes sense. And the answer from Europe was, 'How is Missouri and Mississippi a currency area?' But the flaw in that was not recognizing the importance of mobility.

Quotes by Austan Goolsbee

If we hit the debt ceiling, that's... essentially defaulting on our obligations, which is totally unprecedented in American history. The impact on the economy would be catastrophic.

Quotes by Austan Goolsbee

They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that.

Quotes by Audie Murphy

The authentic Gullah dialect is actually very clipped, and so it would sound almost Jamaican and be very odd to an American audience's ears. It's not the typical Southern dialect that we're used to.

Quotes by Audra McDonald

The authentic Gullah dialect is actually very clipped, and so it would sound almost Jamaican and be very odd to an American audience's ears. It's not the typical Southern dialect that we're used to. It has a much more percussive rhythm to it.

Quotes by Audra McDonald

Cost is the spectre haunting health reform. For many decades, the great flaw in the American health-care system was its unconscionable gaps in coverage.

Quotes by Atul Gawande

The history of American agriculture suggests that you can have transformation without a master plan, without knowing all the answers up front.

Quotes by Atul Gawande

Natural gas is the one fuel that we have that's affordable, it's scaleable, it can replace coal over time, it can replace imported oil, can create American jobs.

Quotes by Aubrey McClendon

My goal in Korea is to win. There's no timetable when to set the American record.

Quotes by Ashley Jensen

Quotes by Ashley Judd

I kind of resent the idea that the whole world has to be interested in the American elections.

Quotes by Arundhati Roy

Quotes by Arthur Lydiard

It would be hard to exaggerate Ernest Hemingway's influence over American literature, but his influence on our lives is probably larger still.

Quotes by Arthur Phillips

Most American Jews came from the lower middle classes, and therefore they brought with them not a lot of Jewish culture. The American Jewish story starts with Ellis Island, and the candy store in the Bronx.

Quotes by Arthur Hertzberg

The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.

Quotes by Arthur C. Danto

A bad liver is to a Frenchman what a nervous breakdown is to an American. Everyone has had one and everyone wants to talk about it.

Quotes by Art Buchwald

Who cares about that stuff? This is America, not Jerusalem. I'm an American. Let Harry be a Jew.

Quotes by Arnold Rothstein

Well, I believe that when you are confirming a United States Supreme Court Justice, that it really isn't Democratic or Republican; it's American.

Quotes by Arlen Specter

Iran, Libya and Syria are irresponsible states, which must be disarmed of weapons of mass destruction, and a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier to achieve.

Quotes by Ariel Sharon

I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn't too high-pitched American.

Quotes by Archie Panjabi

Rap actually took root in the Negro community, and then in the Hispanic community, long before it impacted on the larger American community as a whole.

Quotes by Archie Shepp

I graduated from the American Film Institute in 2010, where I studied as a director, and came out with a few features I really wanted to make.

Quotes by Ari Aster

I have found that many other countries will buy off on anything American. As much as they hate us, they want to be us more than anything.

Quotes by April Winchell

For Latin American countries seeking to play a bigger role in global trade, effectively implementing trade-facilitating reforms could be an important tool in their toolkits.

Quotes by Arancha Gonzalez

Through trade reforms, Latin American countries can boost their competitiveness in markets for goods and services.

Quotes by Arancha Gonzalez

My father was among the first of his generation to look into writers who've become part of the American lit. canon. When he wrote his master's thesis on William Faulkner in the Forties, he couldn't find anybody on the faculty at Columbia University to oversee it because they didn't read Faulkner.

Quotes by Antonya Nelson

I'm an American TV show buff. I can watch them nonstop for days.

Quotes by Anushka Sharma

We are now integrated into American society and I don't like the word fashionable, because fashionable means that it's going to pass. It's not like that anymore.

Quotes by Antonio Banderas

I am not a politician. I'm an American businessman and entrepreneur that have built two businesses, and I try to play it straight with people.

Quotes by Anthony Scaramucci

Neoconservative Republican President George W. Bush took office determined to aggressively export American democratic values through conflict. The Iraq war, a misdirected response to 9/11, tacked trillions of dollars on to the deficit while further destabilising the Middle East.

Quotes by Anthony Scaramucci

I'm an American businessman. And I'm a very practical guy. I've supported a lot of different people.

Quotes by Anthony Scaramucci

So I built my entire career in the United States and that's why it feels like I'm an American actor.

Quotes by Anthony LaPaglia

For the most part, the American film market has become very corporatised, even independent film to a degree, and because of the corporate management mentality, they want to take the safe way.

Quotes by Anthony LaPaglia

Is it 'left' to insist that presidents and CIA directors adhere to the law? I don't think so. I think it's American.

Quotes by Anthony Lewis

Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?

Quotes by Anthony Bourdain

Yes, I'm ashamed of my participation as a taxpayer in American drone bombing.

Quotes by Anohni

I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.

Quotes by Anson Mount

Quotes by Annette Funicello

In the winter of 1973, the American POWs held captive in Vietnam were released according to the terms of the Paris Peace Accords.

Quotes by Annie Jacobsen

I'm definitely more influenced by European writers than I am by American writers, there's no doubt about that.

Quotes by Anne Rice

Blake has always been a favorite, the lyrics, not so much the prophetic books, but I suppose Yeats influenced me more as a young poet, and the American, Robert Frost.

Quotes by Anne Stevenson

The American way is to not need help, but to help.

Quotes by Anne Lamott

'Avatar' imaginatively revisits the crime scene of white America's foundational act of genocide, in which entire native tribes and civilizations were wiped out by European immigrants to the American continent.

Quotes by Annalee Newitz

Personal privacy is a closely held American value.

Quotes by Anna Eshoo

Quotes by Ann Coulter

What happens is, illegal immigrants can run across the border, drop a baby, and say, 'Ha-ha, there's nothing you can do now. My kid's an American citizen.' Well, that wasn't the intent of the 14th Amendment. Americans would not agree with that. It creates a horrible incentive.

Quotes by Ann Coulter

I'm an American. I have constitutional rights.

Quotes by Ann Coulter

How about 'anvil babies' - because that is what anchor babies are around the necks of the American taxpayer.

Quotes by Ann Coulter

Football is an American sport. Everyone loves it. I certainly would never want to ban football.

Quotes by Ann McKee

The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of public relations. Without it, America would be grim indeed.

Quotes by Anita Loos

Since its inception, the American nation has had on its official seal the following motto: 'e pluribus unum,' which in Latin means, 'from the many, one.' That would change dramatically if Puerto Rico were to become a state.

Quotes by Anibal Acevedo Vila

I now have Grit Scale scores from thousands of American adults. My data provide a snapshot of grit across adulthood. And I've discovered a strikingly consistent pattern: grit and age go hand in hand. Sixty-somethings tend to be grittier, on average, than fifty-somethings, who are in turn grittier than forty-somethings, and so on.

Quotes by Angela Duckworth

If we remind ourselves of the fact that every fifth American today rightly points and perhaps also with a certain degree of pride to his German ancestry or her German ancestry, we can safely say that we, indeed, share common roots.

Quotes by Angela Merkel

When I started playing the bass, I became kind of fascinated by it and started investigating various styles of bass playing, and I was really struck with funk music, mainly American funk music - Stanley Clarke, Funkadelic and that kind of stuff. That comes out in a couple of songs like 'Barbarism Begins at Home.'

Quotes by Andy Rourke

American workers won't be able to compete fairly for jobs until companies have to pay higher wages in countries like China and India.

Quotes by Andy Stern

Why does there exist a global American entertainment industry, but there isn't an equivalent coming from France or Italy? This is the case simply because the English language opens the whole world to the American cinema.

Quotes by Andrzej Wajda

Suddenly, the screens were dominated by American entertainment to the extent of something like 95 percent. As a result, audiences turned away from the kinds of films that we used to make.

Quotes by Andrzej Wajda

In the first years after the systemic transition, our screens showed American entertainment that had not been available before, or had been available only sporadically.

Quotes by Andrzej Wajda

Money greases the wheel of American democracy and corrupts it all.

Quotes by Andy Dunn

American businesses are struggling to pay outrageous, exploitive insurance bills for their employees, hampering our ability to compete globally.

Quotes by Andrew Weil

Some of the oddest foods I've encountered are 'American' foods represented internationally.

Quotes by Andrew Zimmern

The jambalaya of the American South owes a lot to the cuisines of the islands and western Africa, and it's my favorite of this type of one-pot cookery.

Quotes by Andrew Zimmern

I'm European, and my roots are in Europe. But Boston is one of the most, in a way, European American cities. And I think I'll find a lot of similarities, historically and architecturally and tradition-wise.

Quotes by Andris Nelsons

Some grocery stores began using electronic scanners as early as 1976, and the devices have been in general use in American supermarkets for a decade.

Quotes by Andrew Rosenthal

One of Obama's first major acts as president was to sign the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and some of the money in that bill went to Saft.

Quotes by Andrew Ross Sorkin

'Anthems' was a harsh indictment of American foreign policy; the video for the first single featured an American flag engulfed in a pool of oil, imagery which might have been risque in 2002, but seemed unimaginably passe in the last year of Bush's presidency.

Quotes by Andrew Shaffer

No American should be forced to choose between their spouse and their country.

Quotes by Andrew Sullivan

I grew up in Europe, and soccer was the first organized game I played. When we moved back to the U.S. in the middle of 4th grade, I switched to American football and stopped playing competitively until college, when I played intramurals.

Quotes by Andrew Luck

The Tea Party isn't out to be a third force in American politics. Instead, it has infiltrated the Republicans and remoulded them in its own image.

Quotes by Andrew Neil

Coming from a different perspective on a society is really interesting. I love the Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Phantom Thread,' and that's a version of Britishness and Englishness made by an American.

Quotes by Andrew Haigh

When I was growing up, I was watching fairly standard American cinema.

Quotes by Andrew Haigh

I was brought up on American films.

Quotes by Andrew Garfield
