Famous quotes containing the word greek:

    “Certainly for us of the modern world, with its conflicting claims, its entangled interests, distracted by so many sorrows, so many preoccupations, so bewildering an experience, the problem of unity with ourselves in blitheness and repose, is far harder than it was for the Greek within the simple terms of antique life. Yet, not less than ever, the intellect demands completeness, centrality.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “With astonishment Aschenbach noticed that the boy was entirely beautiful.

    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Can it be, that the Greek grammarians invented their dual number for the particular benefit of twins?”
