Mann

Famous quotes containing the word mann:

    Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all.

    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
