Famous quotes containing the words world and/or european:
“The world leans on us. When we sag, the whole world seems to droop.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
