Latin Style

Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or style:

“Where liberty dwells there is my country.”
—Anonymous. Latin phrase.

Adopted as a motto by U.S. patriot and orator James Otis (1725-1783)

“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
