Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “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)

    “That land is like an Eagle, whose young gaze
    Feeds on the noontide beam, whose golden plume
    Floats moveless on the storm, and in the blaze
    Of sunrise gleams when Earth is wrapped in gloom;
    An epitaph of glory for the tomb
    Of murdered Europe may thy fame be made,
    Great People! as the sands shalt thou become;
    Thy growth is swift as morn, when night must fade;
    The multitudinous Earth shall sleep beneath thy shade.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “In Europe the object is to make the most of their land, labour being abundant: here it is to make the most of our labour, land being abundant.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
