Armenian Script

Famous quotes containing the words armenian and/or script:

    The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    Take what the old-church
    found in Mithra’s tomb,
    candle and script and bell,
    take what the new-church spat upon
    and broke and shattered.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
