Russian Orthodox

Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or orthodox:

“That is almost the whole of Russian literature: the phenomenal coruscations of the souls of quite commonplace people.”

You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
