Germany Shines

Famous quotes containing the words germany and/or shines:

    How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria; the sun-set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding; the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If you have done terrible things, you must endure terrible things; for thus the sacred light of injustice shines bright.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
