German is the most proverb

 German is the most extravagantly ugly language - it sounds like someone using a sick bag on a 747.

 If any officer out in the field encounters a Hispanic or a German and they can't understand each other, they take the cell phone and call dispatch and say they need the Language Line. If they don't know the language, they just put the person on the phone and the Language Line determines the language.

 The beginning of the 19th century in Germany and Vienna was a new era with German composers writing in the German language.

 Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German.
  Stefan Zweig

 I knew a second language would aid me in any career path I chose. I was fortunate enough to have a high school German teacher who made me fall in love with the language.

 It sounds like something dying. It sounds like a sick European police siren.

 Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but passé. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.
  Phyllis McGinley

 There is no such thing as an ugly language. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.
  Elias Canetti

 All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

 The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything -- gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness -- rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations. To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.
  Antonin Artaud

 We've found that timing of just a sparse number of spikes actually encodes the whole range of nature sounds, including components of speech such as vowels and consonants, and natural environment sounds like footsteps in a forest or a flowing stream. We found that the optimal code for natural sounds is the same as that for speech. Oddly enough, cats share our own optimal auditory code for the English language.

 The key to integration is a common language and that happens to be German here -- and we can demand that.

 There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.
  Mark Twain

 I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.
