Famous quotes containing the words renaissance and/or era:
“People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
