Famous quotes containing the word adams:

    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    America had no use for Adams because he was eighteenth-century, and yet it worshipped Grant because he was archaic and should have lived in a cave and worn skins.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
