4561 Quotes by German authors

German Flag

German quotations carry a lucid, handcrafted cadence, part philosophical drill, part tender confession. They weigh duty against freedom, time against longing, with dry humor that arrives like a raised eyebrow. Proverbs sharpen common sense; poets invite Sehnsucht and the hush of winter light. Think of clear nouns, patient syntax, and a habit of asking why until the truth stands bare. Between practicality and metaphysics, irony and earnestness, they sketch a moral landscape where words are tools, companions, and sometimes rescue.
