Von Hollander

Famous quotes containing the words von and/or hollander:

    You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one’s own.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    When Adam found his rib was gone
    He cursed and sighed and cried and swore
    And looked with cold resentment on
    The creature God has used it for.
    —John Hollander (b. 1929)
