Famous quotes containing the words free and/or gothic:
“To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.”

“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 (18381918)
