Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or romances:
“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)
“Lies, fables and romances must needs be probable, but not the truth and foundation of our faith.”
—Johann G. Hamann (1730–1788)
