• No habrá paz en Europa si los Estados se reconstruyen sobre la base de la soberanía nacional, con sus implicaciones de política de prestigio y protección económica...

• Have I said clearly enough that the Community we created is not an end in itself? It is a process of change, continuing in that same process which in an earlier period produced our national forms of life. The sovereign nations of the past can no longer solve the problems of the present: they cannot ensure their own progress or control their own future. And the Community itself is only a stage on the way of the organized world of tomorrow.
