Larry KingPeople in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.

Ruth GordonA name, it has more than nominal worth,
And belongs to good or bad luck at birth
