Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “New York has her wilderness within her own borders; and though the sailors of Europe are familiar with the soundings of her Hudson, and Fulton long since invented the steamboat on its waters, an Indian is still necessary to guide her scientific men to its headwaters in the Adirondack country.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The people of Western Europe are facing this summer a series of tragic dilemmas. Of the hopes that dazzled the last twenty years that some political movement might tend to the betterment of the human lot, little remains above ground but the tattered slogans of the past.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “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)
