When the going gets tough, you have to lie.

When it becomes serious, you have to lie.

I'm ready to be insulted as being insufficiently democratic, but I want to be serious ... I am for secret, dark debates.

I believe neither the French nor the Dutch really rejected the constitutional treaty.

Decisions can only be reached in Europe if France and Germany agree.

It is not acceptable that European Union countries are divided into those who give and those who take.

It is not more Europe or less Europe that we need. We need a better Europe.

I am for secret, dark debates.

It's important to recognize that we in Europe will either succeed together or fail together.

Anger is one of the sinners of the soul.

It only took one text message to change my life. That's when I discovered my loving husband had been unfaithful. His infidelities ended our marriage.

I'm not interested in making what's easy. I'm interested in making what's beautiful.
