Famous quotes containing the words easily and/or change:
“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)
“For as change is horror,
Virtue is really stubbornness
And only in the light of lost words
Can we imagine our rewards.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
