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

    “How coyote got his
    ratty old fur coat
    bits of old fur
    the sparrows stuck on him
    with dabs of pitch.
    That was after he lost his proud original one in a poker game.”
    —Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)

    “Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “But stories that live longest
    Are sung above the glass,
    And Parnell loved his country
    And Parnell loved his lass.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
