Famous quotes containing the words renaissance and/or men:
“People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
