Famous quotes containing the words european and/or parliament:

    “In verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
