Famous quotes containing the words flemish, northern and/or renaissance:

    “These Flemish pictures of old days;

    And stretch the hands of memory forth
    To warm them at the wood-fire’s blaze!”

    “... in Northern Ireland, if you don’t have basic Christianity, rather than merely religion, all you get out of the experience of living is bitterness.”

    “People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)
