About This Quote
A lot of people, especially those of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, have a love for all things German. In fact, some people even say that Germans invented the whole world! This quote is a reminder of those times, when we needed germans in Paris to hear Wagner. German culture was a big part of the European culture during those years. A lot of people were into german music and art.
However, it is more than just a reminder. It is a reminder that just because it is something you love doesn’t mean everyone else will love it too. And if people don’t love it, you should respect their right to have their own tastes.
