Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong: it is a geographical expression.

Quote Summary
This quote by Otto von Bismarck challenges the notion of Europe as a unified entity, asserting that it is merely a geographical expression. Bismarck suggests that the diverse cultures, histories, and political interests of the countries within Europe make it incorrect to speak of Europe as a single entity.
