Des Verdienstordens Der

Famous quotes containing the words des and/or der:

    “When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
    —Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

    “Under the lindens on the heather,
    There was our double resting-place.”
    —Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
