FWIW--maybe you have this or something earlier already-- "Wer sich nicht bewegt, spürt seine Fesseln nicht" according to HT probably (I haven't seen the publication) appears in

"sequence No.41"
(though apparently without Rosa Luxemburg)

Subject: [ADS-L] Rosa Luxemburg Quote

The quotation "Those who do not move, do not notice their chains" is frequently attributed to Rosa Luxemburg.  I am trying to trace the earliest attribution to Luxemburg, or to anyone else if there were other attributions predating the ones to her, and would welcome any citations or pointers to possible occurrences.
