Famous quotes containing the words german, military and/or trophies:

    “I don’t want to shoot any Englishmen. I never saw one ‘til I came up here. But I suppose most of them never saw a German ‘til they came up here.”
    —Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)

    “My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
    —Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)

    “Vain the ambition of kings
    Who seek by trophies and dead things,
    To leave a living name behind,
    And weave but nets to catch the wind.”
    —John Webster (1580–1625)
