Famous quotes containing the words medieval, city and/or gates:

    The Christos-image
    is most difficult to disentangle

    of pain-worship and death-symbol.

    Jews do not like the country, yes thank you, christians donot all like the city. Yes and thank you. There are no differences between the city and the country and very likely every one can be daily daily and by that timely.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Listen to me, as if I were Sybaris barking with all his heads, at the gates of Hell, I will tell you where to take it. But don’t ... don’t open the box!
