Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “The Cold War began with the division of Europe. It can only end when Europe is whole.”
    —George Bush (b. 1924)

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