German Civil Law

Famous quotes containing the words german, civil and/or law:

    So far no actual revolutionary masses have come into view. This might be considered sufficient reason for reproaching someone who has set out to describe a revolution. But it is not our fault. This is, after all, a German revolution.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    They have been waiting for us in a foetor
    Of vegetable sweat since civil war days,
    Since the gravel-crunching, interminable departure
    Of the expropriated mycologist.
    Derek Mahon (b. 1941)

    The times have changed. Why do you make a fuss
    For privilege when there’s no law of form?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
