"Die, die Die, die die Tugend nicht achten achten, achten wir nicht " is
translated as "We do not pay attention to those who pay attention to those
who do not pay attention to virtue." My sister, during her graduate school
years as a German and French double major, got together with the other
linguists and they came up with a bunch of these amazing constructs. After
she told me this one, for months she and I went around babbling, "Die, die
die, die die, die die, die die . . ." If I can get her to remember more of
them, I'll post them.
