“Eunan was against anything without set purpose and complete predictability and a human tended to fail on these requirements… He mocked anything frivolous: placemats, dessert, having a lie-in, suffering from your nerves. 'Get away out of that!' he'd shout at cream cakes and people with hay fever. To him harsh words weren't a bad thing, they were just a little sandpaper, giving a person a hard-wearing exterior. 'I was often spoken to harshly and it's done me no harm, he'd say and no one dared disagree.”

“Euphemisms are for the differently brained.”
“Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance. Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.”

It is therefore high time our most valuable aphorisms and paragraphs were put in order for frequent perusal, and for handy reference, as the circumstances of life call up subjects.”

“Eurasia ended up with the most domesticated animal species in part because it's the world's largest land mass and offered the most wild species to begin with.”
“Eurasia's main axis is east/west, whereas the main axis of the Americas is north/south. Eurasia's east/west axis meant that species domesticated in one part of Eurasia could easily spread thousands of miles at the same latitude, encountering the same day-length and climate to which they were already adapted.”
“Eure Kinder sind nicht eure Kinder. - Sie sind die Söhne und Töchter der Sehnsucht des Lebens nach sich selber.”
“Eureka" can be an answer to a question we have never asked. It can be the articulation of a sudden and unforeseen idea or the expression of a magic moment that throws us into a new world. It acts like a radiant sunbeam that comes out of the blue and illuminates a dim past, opening a new, dynamic horizon. It may even be a trivial but lucky encounter with new friends, who let us be what we are in our imagination: original and undifferentiated. (“Waiting for Eureka” )”
“Eureka!" Mungo yelled. It was a word that wasn't actually a word but which he'd mathematically proved to exist in a parallel realm and he quite liked the sound of it when it came to needing something to yell in moments of cerebral triumph.”

“Eureka!"s like the one Archimedes had when he stepped in a bathtub and suddenly realized the answer to the problem of testing metals' density are few and far between, and mostly it's just trying and failing and trying something else, feeding in data and eliminating variables and staring at the results, trying to figure out where you went wrong.”

“Eureka, Eureka! (I found it, I found it!).”
“Euria was like most of the sprawling metropolises in Erhard: tall skyscrapers that didn’t so much kiss the sky as ram their fist through it, their shadows casting a perpetual false night across the ground where the unfortunate dwelled.”

“Euripedes. Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.”

“Euripides, however, has drawn Fate down from the region of the infinite; and with him inevitable necessity not unfrequently degenerates into the caprice of chance. Accordingly, he can no longer apply it to its proper purpose, namely, by contrast with it, to heighten the moral liberty of man. How few of his pieces turn upon a steadfast resistance to the decrees of fate, or an equally heroic submission to them! His characters generally suffer because they must, and not because they will.”

“Euripides long ago said, 'who dares not speak his free thought is a slave.' I nominated myself as an 'infidel' as a challenge to thought for those who are asleep.”
“Euripides "questioned everything. He was a misanthrope who preferred books to men.”
“Euripides says,-Who knows but that this life is really death,And whether death is not what men call life?”
“Euripides seems to have felt that the dignified perfection of Sophocles could be challenged only by novelty and irresponsibility. The religious conditions of the Dionysian festival kept him within certain bounds. But within the imposed limits Euripides was as profane as he dared to be, making melodrama of the divine realities which his predecessors accepted religiously, using the stage merely as a convenience for popularizing his own eccentric values.”
“Euripides was wont to say, silence was an answer to a wise man; but we seem to have greater occasion for it in our dealing with fools and unreasonable persons; for men of breeding and sense will be satisfied with reason and fair words.”
“Euro Disney is not my vibe. I can't really deal with Disney, man. It's not my thing.”
“Euro was created by Germany, for Germany.”
“Eurobonds are absolutely wrong. In order to bring about common interest rates, you need similar competitiveness levels, similar budget situations. You don't get them by collectivizing debts.”

“Eurocentrism - The First Global Catastrophe (Sonnet 2626)
Climate change is nothing,
the first humanly caused
global catastrophe was eurocentrism -
before colonials, science was rooted in society, and
philosophy was rooted in community, not snobbery,
medicine was centered on people, not profit,
religion was lived experience, not salesmanship -
farmland was family, not property,
innovation empowered life, not luxury -
psychology prioritized understanding
and healing, not analysis and isolation,
poetry was the everyday way of life,
not aristocratic escapism.
Sure, there was superstition back then as well,
but no superstition of the pre-colonial world
comes close in atrocity to the fancy superstitions
of the imperials marketed as progress.
Eurocentrism is the biggest impediment to education -
stand and burn the colonial syllabus, that's enlightenment!”

“Euroopan rahaliitto on todellakin harhaanjohtava nimi. Mitään liittoa ei ole, vain valtioiden sopimus yhteisestä rahasta ja keskuspankista. Euroalue ei ole itsenäinen toimija, jolla olisi oma budjetti, oma talouspolitiikka tai yhteinen edustus ulospäin. Puhumattakaan kansallislaulusta ja postimerkeistä.”

“Europa kann dieses Problem [Anm.: Die Terrororganisation IS], selbst wenn wir alle einer Meinung wären, nicht sofort lösen.
Wir haben in der Region zwei Schlüsselstaaten, die wir zusammenbringen müssen - das eine ist der Iran und das andere ist Saudi-Arabien. Das sind nämlich die beiden Staaten, die die unterschiedlichen Religionsgruppen in der Region am stärksten repräsentieren - Erzfeinde, die, wenn die sich zusammenschließen würden, wenn Europa [...] es schaffen würde den Iran und Saudi-Arabien dazu zu bringen in dieser Region ein Stück für mehr Ordnung zu sorgen - und zwar gemeinsam - dann hätte Europa diplomatisch ein riesen Schritt vorwärts gemacht.”
“Europe and America must act together in the face of evil. It's high time for Americans and Europeans to restore that unity and be able to take actions collectively together.”
“Europe and America should judge Georgia's leadership on the basis of their actions, not just their words and promises. Otherwise Saakashvili will transform Georgia into a dictatorship.”
“Europe and North America, we are told, are less dependent on energy-intensive heavy industry than in the 1960s and 1970s. It seems we squeeze more GDP out of a barrel of oil than in those benighted days.”
“Europe and the euro zone have no reason, rationally, to push Greece out of the euro. But this is a system in which many parties, many countries, many governments, many electorates participate and we could have events which, rationally, are not controllable.”
“Europe and the U.K. are yesterday's world. Tomorrow is in the United States.”
