Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.”
    —Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

    “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)

    “In America the cohesion was a matter of choice and will. But in Europe it was organic.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
