American culture including its sprichwort

American culture, including its literature, has been enriched over many decades by the work of its immigrant authors.

I moved here when I was 20 to go to college. After I moved here, I became much more aware of the importance of the culture and literature to my life. Sometimes when you're immersed in something, you just don't notice it very much. Moving away makes you appreciate your culture. Living here, I've thought more and more about India, and what being Indian-American means to me. And it's made me incorporate things from Indian literature into my own writing.

Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

We believe that any immigrant — any immigrant — residing in this nation has a right — a right — to have access to the process allowing U.S. citizenship. No ifs. No buts. And, we feel that the underlying theme is that there is nothing more un-American than to be anti-immigrant.

Amazon Shorts will help authors find new readers and help readers find and discover authors they'll love. We hope that by making short-form literature widely and easily available, Amazon.com can help to fuel a revival of this kind of work.

Steve Kessel

In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?

Gao Xingjian (1940-)

I'm hoping that this event will ignite or spur interest in African-American literature. We have some great authors and poets past and present. It does my heart good to see that it's being done here in school.

His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings.

Evangelicals and fundamentalists have in recent decades become the most vocal critics of American Christianity's captivity to culture.

Stephen Prothero

I am very proud to be a part of such a fine company, ... Its roots have been deep in the culture of classic American beauty for decades.

Gwyneth Paltrow (1972-)

There are lots of issues that Asian Americans share, ... one being the immigrant experience, being relatively recent immigrant arrivals. And Asians also suffer from a perpetual-
foreigner syndrome, meaning that you could be a fourth- or fifth-generation Asian American but still somehow it's difficult to believe that you're an American. I get that: First they compliment me on my ability to speak English, and often I get asked, 'Well, where are you from?' and for some reason people refuse to take Flushing for an answer.

John Liu (1944-)

At the Postal Service, we understand the power our stamps have in helping to celebrate American history and culture -- in this case, the contributions of Latin American art and dance to American culture,

David Solomon

I don't care if they want to come over, live and work and be an American. (But) come the right way and learn the culture, don't bring your culture. These people don't want to be Americans.

Rhoda Smith

The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.

Lionel Trilling (1905-1975)

By and large the literature of a democracy will never exhibit the order, regularity, skill, and art characteristic of aristocratic literature; formal qualities will be neglected or actually despised. The style will often be strange, incorrect, overburdened, and loose, and almost always strong and bold. Writers will be more anxious to work quickly than to perfect details. Short works will be commoner than long books, wit than erudition, imagination than depth. There will be a rude and untutored vigor of thought with great variety and singular fecundity. Authors will strive to astonish more than to please, and to stir passions rather than to charm taste.

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)
