Alexander III of Russia - Titles, Styles and Arms

Famous quotes containing the words styles and/or arms:

“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 (1838–1918)

“Women have simple tastes. They can get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
