quotations about antiquity
And to speak truly, "Antiquitas saeculi juventus mundi," these times are the ancient times, when the world is ancient, and not those which we account ancient ordine retrogrado, by a computation backward from ourselves.
FRANCIS BACON
Advancement of Learning
Remove not the ancient landmark.
KING SOLOMON
Proverbs 22:28
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn't even exist
It was just an ideal, is it such a surprise?
ELVIS COSTELLO
"All This Useless Beauty"
Though antiquity was not forgotten, it was, in some sense, overpassed.
HOWARD B. WHITE
Antiquity Forgot
