Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or communists:
“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)
“The final conflict will be between the Communists and the ex-Communists.”
—Ignazio Silone (1900–1978)
