German

"Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him until he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth."

Mark Twain

"There are two kinds of music; German music and bad music."

H.L. Mencken

"The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure; but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, 'To what end?'"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"German reunification. I view this in much the same way I view a possible Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis reconciliation: I never really enjoyed their work, and I’m not sure I need to see any of their new stuff."

Dennis Miller

"A German singer! I should as soon expect to get pleasure from the neighing of my horse."

Frederick the Great
