Famous quotes containing the words original, german and/or stories:

    “The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
    —Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
