Famous quotes containing the words marc and/or mann:

    Let us be realistic and demand the impossible.
    [Soyons rĂ©alistes, demandons l’impossible.]
    Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)

    This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
