In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. George Orwell, Politics and the English Language The US is under the impression that they are 20 years in advance of Europe; whilst, as a matter of verifiable fact, of course, they are just about 6 hours behind it. (slightly re-written version of Harold Hobson's original.) America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags it's tail it knocks over a chair. Arnold Toynbee I found there a country with 32 religions and only one sauce. Tallyrand on America It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it. Mark Twain France is a country where the money falls apart in your hands and you can't tear the toilet paper. Billy Wilder The great nations have always acted as gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes. Stanley Kubrick Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation or creed. Bertrand Russell These were found in Scorn With Added Vitriol by Matthew Parris, Hamish Hamilton, London
