Kosovo is too close to Europe. It is not only close to Albania, it is close to Greece, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, where there are still many Kosovo refugees. Spontaneous reactions could multiply.

To understand Europe, you have to be a genius – or French.

I’m offended by the kind of smarmy religiosity that’s all around us, perhaps more in America than in Europe, and not really that harmful because it’s not really that intense or even that serious, but...

Maimed but still magnificent… Europe’s mightiest medieval cathedral.

The use of tobacco is one of the most evident of all the retrograde influences of our time. It invades all classes, destroys social life, and is turning, in the words of Mantegazza, the whole...

It is difficult to explain. In the Premiership this season, I think that maybe we had some problems with the physical game. Everybody has talked about it. But in Europe, I don’t think there is...

The thought of going abroad makes my heart Leap,” (Charles) Sumner wrote. “I feel, when I commune with myself about it, as when dwelling on the countenance and voice of a lovely girl. I am...

Let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD. We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended...

It’s essential for the U.S. and Europe to prevent Putin from going farther and reversing the hard-won independence of former Soviet republics.

The ‘Renaissance’ West Butchered the Rest.If I had to choose between an erudite Aristotle and an unknown ‘soulless’ black slave I would choose the latter. The ascendancy of the West was on a heap of...

One of the species on the Azores returned to Europe. It seems that having got there in the first instance a very long time ago, it relatively recently migrated back to Europe.

Most striking about the traditional societies of the Congo was their remarkable artwork: baskets, mats, pottery, copper and ironwork, and, above all, woodcarving. It would be two decades before Europeans really noticed this art. Its...

Thank God we’re not like America. Everyone wants to look like they’re 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

We can prevent Europe from becoming a spiritless machine that, in the end, grinds to a halt.

Europe must dissipate any doubts over the euro, affirm that the euro is an irreversible project and act in consequence.

I watched the shadow of our plane hastening below us across hedges and fences, rows of poplars and canals … Nowhere, however, was a single human being to be seen. No matter whether one is...

Earnings growth is still improving and Europe has the advantage to be late relative to the US economic cycle.

We can recognize and give credit where credit is due, to the debt of taste we owe Europe, but we have taste, too.

Europe is equal to its historical task. Against the anti-spiritual, anti-heroic ‘ideals’ of America-Jewry, Europe pits its metaphysical ideas, its faith in its Destiny, its ethical principles, its heroism. Fearlessly, Europe falls in for battle,...

We are taking a look back into Europe and the USA and getting more helicopters from there,

We have a Conservative leader that believes in green taxes, that won’t bring back grammar schools, that believes in continuing with total open-door migration from eastern Europe and refuses to give us a referendum on...

By seeing how small the world is, I realize how capable I am. I can conquer anything. Anywhere. Anyone.

another important step toward making Europe whole and free.

Modern history, both early and late, was made by Europeans, who “built a world around Europe”, as historians “know”, according to Braudel. That is indeed the “knowledge” of the European historians who themselves “invented” history...

There are two kinds of Europeans: The smart ones, and those who stayed behind.

The structures in Europe in a globalising economy need to be modernised, need to be more integrated, need to be stronger.

I don’t enjoy being in Europe for weeks on end, so I just skip it.

Europeans have sometimes been beguiled by a despotism that comes concealed in the seductive form of an ideal – as it did in the cases of Hitler and Stalin. This fact may remind us that...

We need to be aware that there’s a real risk for Europe when the birds migrate northwards this spring.

High Europe always played at ethnic contempt because it was High Europe, and so had the strength, the authority, to make the racial rules. We great unwashed of the outer world, on the coasts of...

China’s exports to Europe and the United States are expected to keep increasing at around 15 percent, but exports to Japan will only grow at 5percent or so.

It was a heavenly summer, the summer in which France fell and the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk. Leaves were never such an intense and iridescent green; sunlight glinted on flower-studded meadows as...

The sepia tone of November has become blood-soaked with paper poppies festooning the lapels of our politicians, newsreaders and business leaders … I will no longer allow my obligation as a veteran to remember those...

The politicians are all useless individuals. Nobody is reducing the problems in the U.S. or Europe, just putting on a Band-Aid and postponing the problems endlessly.

Not too many people in America know about me, but all of Europe knows about me.

Actually—and this was where I began to feel seriously uncomfortable—some such divine claim underlay not just ‘the occupation’ but the whole idea of a separate state for Jews in Palestine. Take away the divine warrant...

A historic transition is occurring, barely noticed. Slowly, quietly, imperceptibly, religion is shriveling in America, as it has done in Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and other advanced societies. Supernatural faith increasingly belongs to the Third...

You’re an expatriate. You’ve lost touch with the soil. You get precious. Fake European standards have ruined you. You drink yourself to death. You become obsessed with sex. You spend all your time talking, not...

British chancellor is telling the rest of Europe it must abandon democracy. It’s appalling.

Ce que Paris conseille, l’Europe le médite ; ce que Paris commence, l’Europe le continue.

The construction of civilizational difference is not exclusive in any simple sense. The de-essentialization of Islam is paradigmatic for all thinking about the assimilation of non-European peoples to European civilization. The idea that people’s historical...
