Late Roman

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or roman:

    But this was the old tree’s late branch wrenched away,
    Grieving the sapless limbs, the shorn and shaken.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique.... Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)
