Famous quotes containing the words medieval and/or rome:

    “The medieval town, with frieze
    Of boy scouts from Nagoya?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “I laugh when I think that all of Rome made it a point not to pronounce Drusilla’s name. Because Rome was mistaken for all those years. Love is not enough for me, and I understood that then.... To love someone is to accept to grow old with her. An old Drusilla is far worse than a dead one.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
