Famous quotes containing the word europe:
“Well then! Wagner was a revolutionaryhe fled the Germans.... As an artist one has no home in Europe outside Paris: the délicatesse in all five artistic senses that is presupposed by Wagners art, the fingers for nuances, the psychological morbidity are found only in Paris. Nowhere else is this passion in questions of form to be found, this seriousness in mise en scènewhich is Parisian seriousness par excellence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“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 (18031882)
“The confrontation between America and Europe reveals not so much a rapprochement as a distortion, an unbridgeable rift. There isnt just a gap between us, but a whole chasm of modernity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
