Famous quotes containing the words german and/or christian:
“That nameless and infinitely delicate aroma of inexpressible tenderness and attentiveness which, in every refined and honorable attachment, is contemporary with the courtship, and precedes the final banns and the rite; but which, like the bouquet of the costliest German wines, too often evaporates upon pouring love out to drink, in the disenchanting glasses of the matrimonial days and nights.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“From the outset, the Christian was the theorizing Jew, the Jew is therefore the practical
Christian, and the practical Christian has become a Jew again.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
