Quotes about Strasbourg and the Strasbourgers.
- In Strasbourg itself there were no gaps between past and present. Romanesque and Gothic Middle Ages, Baroque and the most recent constructions after 1871, all stood on top of each other, constituting, not exactly a harmonious unity, but nevertheless that unity and continuity of historical life which overcomes even the most enormous tensions and recalls the continuous struggle and the changing fortunes of the people. (Friedrich Meinecke)
- I like this city of Strasbourg more than I can say. I love this Alsatian character, something hospitable and free; I love this cathedral so close to me, I especially love the proximity of the Rhine. It makes me think of everything that is unlimited in history; to the Celts, to all the hordes that have stopped for a long time on its banks. (Edgar Quinet)
- If Strasbourg had fallen from the sky, it could not have been in a more beautiful place. (German proverb)
- Go to Strasbourg! there you will find the table set. (German proverb)
