MORGAN, Lady Sidney Quotes
(1789-1859), Irish writer
Architecture is the printing press of all ages, and gives a history of the state of society in which the structure was erected, from the cromlachs of the Druids to the toyshops of bad taste.—The Tower and Westminster Abbey are glorious pages in the historv of time, and tell the story of an iron despotism, and of the cowardice of an unlimited power.
Race and temperament go for much in influencing opinion.
It is quite deplorable to see how many rational creatures mistake suffering for sanctity, and think a sad face and a gloomy habit of mind propitious offerings to that Deity whose works are all light and lustre and harmony and loveliness.
