Famous quotes containing the word europe:

    “Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has our American civilization been in such danger as now.... [The Nazis] have made it clear that not only do they intend to dominate all life and thought in their own country, but also to enslave the whole of Europe, and then to use the resources of Europe to dominate the rest of the world.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “The confrontation between America and Europe reveals not so much a rapprochement as a distortion, an unbridgeable rift. There isn’t just a gap between us, but a whole chasm of modernity.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “The American is said to become full-flavored, and in time a most all-round man, through the polish which Europe can impart.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
