Famous quotes containing the words living and/or german:
“Though living is a dreadful thing
And a dreadful thing is it
Life the niggard will not thank,
She will not teach who will not sing,
And what serves, on the final bank,
Our logic and our wit?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Seventeen hundred and fifty-five.
Georgius Secundus was then alive,—
Snuffy old drone from the German hive.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
