"Why, we're the people— we go on." —John Steinbeck, **Grapes of Wrath** — The American Artist: (philosophy)  "A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." — Bob Dylan

The American Workman: (industry) "On'y I wisht they was some way to make [a living] 'thout takin' her away from someone else." — John Steinbeck, **The Grapes of Wrath.**

The American Romantic: (pastoralism) 

I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done?
