In Europe life is histrionic and dramatized, and in America, except when it is trying to be European, it is direct and sincere.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My life is European.
Life for the European is a career; for the American it is a hazard.
I want to tell stories about Europe - I feel profoundly European, I don't feel like an American.
I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.
In Europe, unlike the States, they have a cultural policy.
Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong: it is a geographical expression.
The European style of living is seductive: fewer hours worked, more hours at the cafe, less concern over self-betterment. But that style of living does not produce a purposeful life.
Europe itself is an embodiment of this diversity.
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.
Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.
