Die Heiden Von

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or von:

“Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later, for another thing, they die earlier.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
