I can speak a bit of German.
More reforms will give more impetus to German industries to invest in India. German companies want to be treated on par with Indian companies, and creation of an equitable market is crucial for investments.
The German export successes are not the result of some sort of currency manipulation, but of the increased competitiveness of companies. The American growth model, on the other hand, is in a deep crisis.
Very little changed fundamentally, except that the proud German soldier had turned into a defeated bundle of misery and the great German army had disintegrated.
Before I became an orphan of the Holocaust my early family life was stable. I grew up as a German Jew in Frankfurt, and I was in a household with two loving parents and an adoring grandmother who spoiled me. My mother helped my father in their wholesale business and they went to synagogue every Friday.
At various points, I’ve had a massive chip on me shoulder. I had fights about me accent with loads of those fellers you get from third-class public schools. They used to think I was speaking German.
‘The White Ribbon’ had to be in German because of the subject matter, that was clear. But in the case of ‘Amour,’ it could have taken place in any country.
In German history, we don’t have many reasons to be proud.
If I were king of the world, babies born in airplanes, balloons and blimps would, instead of choosing to be German, Maldivian or American, all get special heavenly blue passports with a stork on the cover labeled ‘Sky Baby’ – and they’d be allowed to come and go anywhere they please.
Basically, fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. In the same way that Hitler evoked a mythological religion of German purity and the glory of the past, the Islamists use religion to evoke emotions and passions in people who have been oppressed for a long time in order to reach their purpose.
I lived with a German family. I learned about schnitzel from Ritta Seiffer. When she cooked she’d get the oil really hot so that it sealed everything and in the middle was very juicy. That’s the secret to a great schnitzel.
It really should not matter which colour of skin a person has. I know where my roots are, and I know that I’ve been born and raised in Germany. I see myself as a German, and I like to show that.
I feel like German football is a lot more aggressive and faster. I’ve never played in the Premier League, so I couldn’t say what it was like. But going from youth football, I would say it’s a lot faster and lot more physical.
I live on the margin of just about everything. I’m a marginal person, and I think that is where I’ve become comfortable. I’m marginally there in my native life. I can do as much as I can, but I’m always German, too, you know, and I’m always a mother. That’s my first identity, but I’m always a writer, too.
German is more familiar now since I live part of the year in Rome and part in the German part of Switzerland. But it’s not difficult to sing in German; it’s difficult to feel in German. This takes time. It’s a culture.
The Self of everyone, the Atma of everyone, the transcendental field of reality of everyone, is the same in everyone. Whether the body calls itself an American, German, Indian or Chinese, it doesn’t matter.
German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.
I came to understand that a German nudist, in 1984, loved little more than to work on his or her tan.
I pay attention to my nails. I have had this particular German nail kit for years, and I take it everywhere. If I don’t trim and file my nails, they turn into talons. I cook a lot, too, and I don’t like to see bits of food stuck under them.
Few developments central to the history of art have been so misrepresented or misunderstood as the brief, brave, glorious, doomed life of the Bauhaus – the epochally influential German art, architecture, crafts, and design school that was founded in Goethe’s sleepy hometown of Weimar in 1919.
The small teams are playing well. That’s visible, and it has had an impact on German football.
Although I won many titles on the competition circuit, my first professional audition was in 2015 for the popular German version of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, called ‘Let’s Dance’.
I did that all the more, if I may say so, because I was aware of the fact that there is an inclination to go to extremes in German people, and in the German character generally.
German accents and Hassidic accents aren’t that romantic. They’re more harsh. Although Hebrew, when spoken by certain people, sounds beautiful. There’s this beautiful woman I know who speaks Hebrew, and when she speaks, it’s so attractive. Maybe it’s who’s speaking it.
I would rather not tell you here things which every German has at heart.
The West German population would protest passionately if it knew what secret meetings between the federal chancellor, McCoy, and foreign and Nazi generals are planning.
My eldest daughter Hiziya always makes fun of my German, and I laugh with her. I did not learn the language in school, but in my daily life, from other people.
As German players we have something special inside us, because of our football history. We know we have to win, it is what is expected, so we have a good focus.
Ulrik Ottinger was the most real and experimental of all the German New Wave directors. She was probably the most out-there, too. She’s a fascinating artist in that world.
I speak German, Turkish and English perfectly. And I can communicate in Russian.
For the Russians, the displacement of the Holocaust is calculated and cynical. It’s not emotional; they don’t care about the Holocaust one way or another. They only care about it insofar as they can use it to manipulate a German sense of guilt.
A very considerable body of the German people live in America and propose to fight that Government. Bourke in his great speech last week welcoming the Belgian mission to Boston worked out the President’s meaning with care.
On my mother’s side, I’m English, so that’s where the freckles come from. On my father’s side, I’m German, and he has the fantastic olive hues… I was given mum’s skin, whereas my brothers and sisters were given my dad’s skin. I do tan up quite well, but it takes me a bit longer.
It is true that Boney M was a group put together by a German producer, Frank Farian. But it is not true that all of us were mimics.
Ozil is a great player. He’s the brain of the German national team.
Nudity is no big deal as a German. It’s all rather normal and boring.
Ninety percent of the members of the Academy of German Law were not members of the Party.
I used to wear the German shirt with such pride and excitement, but now I don’t. I feel unwanted and think that what I have achieved since my international debut in 2009 has been forgotten.
I think Arsenal would be good for a German coach.
The village of Polgardi is a dusty roadside settlement northeast of Lake Balaton, a resort area in western Hungary popular with German tourists.
It was also my idea that the advisory committees of the Academy should replace the legal committees of the German Reichstag, which was gradually fading into the background in the Reich.
‘Gulabo Sitabo’ is the biggest release for me. The film is going to 203 countries simultaneously and it is successfully being subtitled in 20 languages including Portuguese, German, Spanish, Russian, French and many more.
Matthaus is a legend of the German game and he can say whatever he wants.
My mother was from upstate New York; she’s of Irish and German descent. My father was from Ghana.
I feel privileged to have grown up in Germany so it was a heavy blow for me to be portrayed as somebody who isn’t integrated and who doesn’t live his life according to German values.
I’ve got two little dogs, a little Chihuahua-Pomeranian I’ve had for about eight years – his name is Oliver – and a miniature German Schnauzer I’ve had for about seven years. They’re like little brothers.
The Nazi period could have happened only in Germany because the German education of obedience to any law and order was the main problem.
Some refugees will find it relatively easy to find jobs. A university-educated Syrian civil engineer arriving in Munich will need to learn some German, but once this is done, he or she is unlikely to have to wait too long before employers come knocking.
When I was still young and living in Switzerland, I had auditioned in Munich for a German film and was rejected. So I gave up and concentrated on my stage work. But I always wanted to make films.
The German mind has a talent for making no mistakes but the very greatest.
I went to a British Council event a while back and there were lots of German professors of literature. About half of them were convinced I had a German sense of humour and the other half were sure it was British. They are probably still arguing about it now.
The German ueber-photographer Andreas Gursky was the perfect pre-9/11 artist.
When I played for Hannover I had several offers, also – as I have been told – from Hamburg, Bremen and Bayern. Back then I already was a German international and Bayern would have loved to have the complete German national team.
