I couldn't have written things like 'Low' and 'Heroes,' those particular albums, if it hadn't have been for Berlin and the kind of atmosphere I felt there.

Whoever lives in Berlin note, and doesn't die of Liberalism, will never die of vexation!

- Ferdinand Lassalle

Musically, I didn't relate to Berlin. There seemed to be a lot of machine music made there - I don't think I saw a stringed instrument in two years.

- Feist

We, of course, have the power of hindsight in our arsenal, but people living in Berlin in that era didn't. What would that have been like as this darkness fell over Germany?

My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.

I like museums in Berlin a lot, especially in the eastern part. They're extraordinarily good.

Dietz and Schwartz have sort of fallen by the wayside a little bit, and they are up there with Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. They are the finest of the revue composers - their stuff is so good and so strong.

And of course I like Berlin a lot. It's such an interesting city.

Berlin is like being abroad in Germany. It's German, but not provincial.

I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'

Well, they didn't lack for topics after Hiroshima. Why should 9/11 slow them down? I know it got a lot of press, but it's just a few large buildings and aircraft, it's not like D-Day and the Seige of Berlin.

- Bruce Sterling

I came to Berlin not to visit its museums and galleries, its operas, its theaters... but for the sake of seeing and speaking with the world's greatest living man - Alexander von Humboldt.

- Bayard Taylor

After the Berlin Wall came down and Communism was on the run, I looked around and wondered what the next threat to the United States would be.

My grandfather had been a well-known judge in Berlin.

Berlin would be a great place to have no cell phone, I think. Especially if you were able to live in a central location.
