He is an American." »Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur, Letters from an American Farmer III: What is an American?

'What, grandad' I exclaimed. 'Planting an almond tree' and he, bent as he was, turned round and said, 'My son, I carry on as if I should never die.' I replied, 'And I carry on as if I was going to die any minute.' Which of us was right, boss" »Nikos Kazantzakis
