Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    Of one thing I can assure you with comparative certainty, whoever wins, Europe will be economically ruined. This war is America’s great opportunity.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Can we never extract the tapeworm of Europe from the brain of our countrymen?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
