“Life for the European is a career; for the American it is a hazard.” — Mary McCarthy Quote

“Life for the European is a career; for the American it is a hazard.”

“Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.”

“Europe is the unfinished negative of which America is the proof.”

“I like to be in a European city where I can speak my language.”

“I think it is incumbent on the rest of us - and I would suggest that includes other European leaders - to pause in what has become a very popular game of telling the Greeks how to run their lives.”

“With an ocean between you and your European friends, you have to keep them in your heart.”
