Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well they embrace you.

Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art a scientific theory a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.

After about the first Millennium Italy was the cradle of Romanesque architecture which spread throughout Europe much of it extending the structural daring with minimal visual elaboration.

Information and inspiration are everywhere... history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.

I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.

Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.

Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.

The new architecture of transparency and lightness comes from Japan and Europe.

If we get the capabilities NATO along with the European Union can do amazing things.

In fact it is amazing how much European films - Italian French German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.

European investment in Texas alone exceeds all U.S. investment in China and Japan put together.

Perhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now let alone any more is well known.

I envy the sensibility in Europe appreciating beauty in women as they age. I'm going to go that way. I might dye my gray hair for a bit but beyond that the buck stops. I'm not having any work done.

But I think it's a little different in Europe because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.

What goes on in Europe concerns us greatly because if Europe comes apart the E.U. comes apart then you're going to have enormous impact on America that's a very big trading partner of ours and people own securities around the world in this day and age.

At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry I was listening to European classical music.

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters economists and calculators has succeeded and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
