 The American experience stirred mankind from discovery to exploration. From the cautious quest for what they knew (or thought they knew) was out there, into an enthusiastic reaching to the unknown. These are two substantially different kinds of human enterprise. |
| The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness. |

| The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness. |
| The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life. |
| The deeper problems connected with advertising come less from the unscrupulousness of our 'deceivers' than from our pleasure in being deceived, less from the desire to seduce than from the desire to be seduced. |
| The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century. |
| The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge. |
| The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge. |
| The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge. |

| The improved American highway system isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson's nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims. |

He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all. |
| The most important American addition to the World Experience was the simple surprising fact of America. We have helped prepare mankind for all its later surprises. |
| The most important lesson of American history is the promise of the unexpected. None of our ancestors would have imagined settling way over here on this unknown continent. So we must continue to have society that is hospitable to the unexpected, which allows possibilities to develop beyond our own imaginings. |
