Famous quotes containing the words mann and/or bond:
“Extraordinary creature! So close a friend, and yet so remote.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
