Roman

Famous quotes containing the word roman:

“The Roman Road runs straight and bare
As the pale parting-line in hair
Across the heath.”

“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)

“The Roman world is in collapse but we do not bend our neck.”
—Jerome (c. 340–420)
