German Children

Famous quotes containing the words german and/or children:

    The Germans—once they were called the nation of thinkers: do they still think at all? Nowadays the Germans are bored with intellect, the Germans distrust intellect, politics devours all seriousness for really intellectual things—Deutschland, Deutschland Über alles was, I fear, the end of German philosophy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)
