Famous quotes containing the words germany and/or culture:

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

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
