U2主唱波諾（Bono）如是說

歐洲是種想法 必須變成一種感受
Europe is a thought that needs to become a feeling
但是你看 你們簽了擬定許多協議 然後簽約
But look, you lot that write the treaties and sign them
你們比任何人都知道協議還不夠
you know better than anyone that treaties are not enough
有些事可以將我們組織起來
These are the things that organise us
但是這些事不能定義我們
but they are not the things that define us
我們的關係就是我們的定義
Our relationships are what define us
