Famous quotes containing the word germany:

    It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.
    Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)

    How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria; the sun-set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding; the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
