Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or literature:
“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 desire to create literature leads to frights, grunts, and coy looks.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
