Famous quotes containing the words ancient and, ancient, medieval and/or walls:

    “It takes place ... always without permanent form, though ancient and familiar as the sun and moon, and as sure to come again.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse of old knowledge.... The modern university looks forward, and is a factory of new knowledge.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    “Though it seems improbable on the face of it
    You must master the huge retards and have faith in the slow
    Blossoming of haystacks, stairways, walls of convolvulus,
    Until the moon can do no more. Exhausted,
    You get out of bed. Your project is completed
    Though the experiment is a mess.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
