Americanisms Quotes

“We gave you a perfectly good language and you f***ed up.”
― Stephen Fry

“Just 'cause something isn't true is no reason to not believe in it...”
― Hub Mcann, "Second Hand Lions"

“Perhaps, as we say in America, I wanted to find myself. This is an interesting phrase, not current as far as I know in the language of any other people, which certainly does not mean what it says but betrays a nagging suspicion that something has been misplaced. I think now that if I had any intimation that the self I was going to find would turn out only to be the same self from which I had spent so much time in flight, I would have stayed at home.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room
