"Ancient sculpture is the true school of modesty. But where the Greeks had modesty, we have cant; where they had poetry, we have cant; where they had patriotism, we have cant; where they had anything that exalts, delights, or adorns humanity, we have nothing but cant, cant, cant." |
|
Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866), British author. Crotchet Castle, ch. 7 (1831).
