Famous quotes containing the words return to, return, germany and/or death:

    “To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
    —Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

    “The return to solid values is always hard.... Distress, panic, and hard times have marked our pathway in returning to solid values.”
    —James A. Garfield (1831–1881)

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

    “For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.”
    —Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
