Germans Living

Famous quotes containing the words germans and/or living:

“I know what Germans are. They are a funny people. They are always choosing someone to lead them in a direction which they do not want to go.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
