Charles de Gaulle Quote

Of course one can jump up and down yelling Europe! Europe! Europe! But it amounts to nothing and it means nothing.


In French: "Bien entendu, on peut sauter sur sa chaise comme un cabri en disant l'Europe ! l'Europe ! l'Europe ! mais cela n'aboutit à rien et cela ne signifie rien."
Interview on a presidential campaign, December 1965


Of course one can jump up and down yelling Europe! Europe! Europe! But it amounts to nothing and it means nothing.
