Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    In Europe life is histrionic and dramatized, and ... in America, except when it is trying to be European, it is direct and sincere.
    William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world.... We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind is inevitably our affair as well as the nations of Europe and Asia.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
