German Losses

Famous quotes containing the words german and/or losses:

“A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”

“Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
The Day will come too soon.
Young maids will curse thee, if thou steal’st away
And leav’st their losses open to the day.
Stay, stay, and hide
The blushes of the bride.”
