“A contemporary chronicler, John of Wallingford, complained sourly that the Danes were always combing their hair, changing their underwear and taking baths on Saturday “in order to overcome the chastity of the English women and procure the daughters of noblemen as their mistresses.”

“you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!”

“Constantinople had no distinctly upper-class neighborhoods. The houses of the rich were flanked by the modest homes of the middle class and the hovels of the poor. The wealthy were afforded a certain amount of privacy, however, because the exterior walls of their houses faced the street while the rooms opened out on an interior courtyard, invariably containing a fountain and elaborate landscaping.”
