Minoan Period

Famous quotes containing the words minoan and/or period:

    The Minoan Snake Goddess is flanked by a Chardin still-life, somber
    and tranquil, and by Mohammedan angels
    brilliantly clothed and with multicolored wings....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
