Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or styles:

    “It is poverty’s speech that seeks us out the most.
    It is older than the oldest speech of Rome.
    This is the tragic accent of the scene.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
