“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 (18381918)
“It is an elegant refinement that God learned Greek when he wanted to become a writerand that he did not learn it better.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“That is a very good question. I dont know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?”
