Die Meistersinger Von

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or von:

    To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don’t deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)

    Superstition belongs to the essence of mankind and takes refuge, when one thinks one has suppressed it completely, in the strangest nooks and crannies; once it is safely ensconced there, it suddenly reappears.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
