- It's best to keep America just like that, always in the background, a sort of picture post card
which you look at in a weak moment.
Like that, you imagine it's always there waiting for you,
unchanged, unspoiled, a big patriotic open space with cows and sheep
and tenderhearted men ready to bugger everything in sight, man, woman or beast.
It doesn't exist, America.
It's a name you give to an abstract idea. . . . - Henry Miller
