Free University Berlin

Famous quotes containing the words free, university and/or berlin:

    A gentleman doesn’t pounce ... he glides. If a woman sits on a piece of furniture which permits your sitting beside her, you are free to regard this as an invitation, though not an unequivocal one.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.
    Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)

    Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning,
    Oh, how I’d love to remain in bed.
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
