Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “The city is recruited from the country. In the year 1805, it is said, every legitimate monarch in Europe was imbecile. The city would have died out, rotted, and exploded, long ago, but that it was reinforced from the fields. It is only country which came to town day before yesterday, that is city and court today.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We go to Europe to be Americanized.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Can we never extract this tape-worm of Europe from the brain of our countrymen?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
