My Discovery of America Quotes

“The attitude of the American to the dollar contains poetry.”
― Vladimir Mayakovsky, My Discovery of America

“If an American is motoring on his own, he (the paragon of morality and chastity) will slow down and stop beside every solitary pretty female pedestrian, bare his teeth in a big smile, and tempt her into his car with a wild roll of the eyes. A lady who fails to appreciate his passion will qualify as an idiot who doesn’t realise how lucky she is to have the opportunity of getting to know the owner of this 100-horse-power motor car.”
― Vladimir Mayakovsky, My Discovery of America
