II. Quotations/Proverbs/Idioms (continued)
Americans are the most materialistic of peoples, and, on the other hand, they are the most idealistic; the most revolutionary and, conversely, the most conservative; the most rampantly individualistic, and, simultaneously, the most gregarious and herd-like; the most irreverent toward their elders, and contrariwise, the most abject worshippers of "Mom."

Wider than the sky;
Warmer than the warmest sunshine.
Softer than a sigh.
- From an American folksong
