Copy
Architect Dietrich Zlomke was born in Koenigsberg. He was commissioned to design a memorial to the dead of East and West Prussia in the two world wars, which was dedicated at Oberschleissheim near Munich in 1995. His choice of design was a miniature copy of the Tannenberg Memorial in concrete, dominated in the centre by an oak cross twenty feet high and a smaller iron cross on the pale wall at the rear.

Famous quotes containing the word copy:
“I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the field and the work-yard made.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He’s convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“Quotations—always inexact. I don’t trust people who cannot even copy out.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
