Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or elements:

“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)

“A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.”
