Famous quotes containing the words german and/or party:

    “She had exactly the German way: whatever was in her mind to be delivered, whether a mere remark, or a sermon, or a cyclopedia, or the history of a war, she would get it into a single sentence or die. Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “A party is perpetually corrupted by personality.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
