Famous quotes containing the words montezuma and/or castle:

    “There is only one evil, to deny life
    As Rome denied Etruria
    And mechanical America Montezuma still.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?”
    —William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
