"If a nation is going to function, it has to be part of something bigger. That no country can stand alone is the truth of integration. Just as the state requires a principle of succession to exist over time, it needs some form of integration with others to exist in space."

"Your idea that “you as nation states came together to create Europe”, as opposed to “you as failing empires came together to create Europe” turns your head away, not just from responsibility for empire, but from the scale of your own achievement.
The European story is nice. It’s a nice story that there were nice innocent, small European nation-states who in their nice little way realised that economic interests united them. It’s a nice little story but it’s not history. The history of the 20th century is that of European powers, which for the previous 500 years had dominated the world, found themselves forced to pull back to Europe,"
