"It is no great matter to make a goddess into a witch or a virgin into a harlot; but to achieve the contrary, to give the humiliated dignity, to make the fallen worth coveting, for that either art or character is needed." [J. W. Goethe, 1749-1832]

"Barbarians are not beauty-lovers; they are money-lovers." [Lucian (c. 120-190 AD), The Hall 6]
