The American Dream Quote of the Day


Ernest Gaines, <i>A Lesson Before Dying</i>

[ Video ] Low High    [ Audio ] Quicktime


Ernest Gaines

A Lesson Before Dying

I think that, to me, without love for my fellow man and respect for nature, that to me life is an obscenity. So that can be my feeling of the American Dream. Unless we care for one another and care for the world we live in, then it's -- what is the purpose of our life here? So I don't know what the American Dream is supposed to be, but that all men should get along with all men, but, you know, that's been said about a thousand times or a billion times.
