Berliner Philharmoniker Quotes

Why do you slink away as I approach?"

Berliner: "I fear you, majesty."

King (wielding his stick): "You're supposed to love me, scum! Love me!"

[Asimov's Chronology of the World, p. 276] ~ Isaac Asimov

Be an enzyme - a catalyst for change. As a slogan, I don't know if that's ever going to be right up there with Ich Bin Ein Berliner, or "I Have A Dream," but there's a lot of truth to it. ~ Pierre Omidyar

You shouldn't be a big shot about your fate. I'm an enemy of Destiny, I'm not a Greek, I'm a Berliner. ~ Alfred Doblin

I'm a Berliner - fast, loud, obnoxious, industrious, brutally open. ~ Hasso Plattner

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!' ~ John F. Kennedy

When authoritative reports of radical-design craft having spectacular performance are viewed in the light of a stream of astrobiological discoveries, the possibility that some UFOs are alien does not seem quite so farfetched. Serious-minded scientists in astronomy and other disciplines estimate there could be billions of planets in the universe, and millions that could harbor life. If even a few of those planets were occupied by technological civilizations, their ability (if not desire) to explore other worlds, such as ours, must be a possibility. ~ Don Berliner

These abnormal aspects included the shapes of UFOs and their behavior. Most of the UFOs seen in the daytime were said to have had simple geometric shapes-discs, ovals, spheres, cylinders-and surfaces that looked like metal. Such shapes are not only nonexistent among known aircraft, but contrary to all known theories of flight, in most cases offering control and performance disadvantages rather than advantages. ~ Don Berliner

True love is an immortal force. ~ Marlo Berliner

At first glance, the idea that some UFOs may be vehicles from outside the Earth seems utterly preposterous, the baseless result of wishful thinking by highly unscientific minds. ~ Don Berliner

Enough regret can crush any man, living or dead. ~ Marlo Berliner

In 1902 I left the A.E.G. in order to enter finance. I joined the management of one of our big banks, the Berliner Handelsge-Sellschaft, and reorganized a great part of its industrial undertakings. I gained an insight into German and foreign industry, and belonged at that time to nearly a hundred different concerns. To recognize and create a demand is the secret of all sound business. ~ Walther Rathenau

Teachers make a staggering number of decisions - some historical research suggests as
many as 800 per day (Jackson, 1968). And no one helps you make the decisions; you're
essentially on your own. As you acquire knowledge and experience, however, you learn to
make these decisions routinely and efficiently (Berliner, 1994, 2000). ~ Paul D. Eggen

Berlinerinnen also continue to reinvent Berlin fashion. Women like Claudia Skoda, c.neeon (Clara Kraetsch and Doreen Schultz), Stadtkluft (Claudine Brignot of urbanspeed and Sandra Siewert of s.wert) and Natascha Loch carry on the tradition of Berliner Chic and carry its meanings into today's fashion. Berlinerinnen will always be ready to wear: the women who live in the city, are photographed in its streets, wear local brands and give Berlin fashion its reputation as exigeant and schraeg. Without all of these women, there would be no Berliner Chic, and so it is to them that this project is dedicated. ~ Katrina Sark
