"I feel the enormous burden of the most glorious of heritages weigh on my shoulders. On me, who am nothing and who contributes nothing, civilisation has bestowed an enormous gift: the heritage of Europe. It is made up of treasures and memories. Each one of us, I believe, in London and Vienna, in Berlin and Madrid, in Athens and Warsaw, in Rome and in Paris, in Sofia and Belgrad, must suffer the same crisis. Each one of us is the last of the Europeans."
Jean de Brem, "Le testament d'un Européen"
