Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or german:

    “The stately Homes of England,
    How beautiful they stand,
    To prove the upper classes
    Have still the upper hand.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “That nameless and infinitely delicate aroma of inexpressible tenderness and attentiveness which, in every refined and honorable attachment, is contemporary with the courtship, and precedes the final banns and the rite; but which, like the bouquet of the costliest German wines, too often evaporates upon pouring love out to drink, in the disenchanting glasses of the matrimonial days and nights.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
