To the medieval mind the possibility of doubt did not exist.
In medieval times, artists had patrons that supported them and this is a similar thing,. . . We're basically saying, 'Wouldn't you like to be a part of this'
The medieval doctors of divinity who did not pretend to settle how many angels could dance on the point of a needle cut a very poor figure as far as romantic credulity is concerned beside the modern physicists who have settled to the billionth of a millimetre every movement and position in the dance of the electrons. Not for worlds would I question the precise accuracy of these calculations or the existence of electrons (whatever they may be). The fate of Joan is a warning to me against such heresy.
Economics, we learn in the history of thought, only became a science by escaping from the casuistry and moralizing of medieval thought.
Like fundamentalist Judaism and medieval Christianity, Islam is totalist. That is to say, it makes a total claim on the individual.
Religion is such a medieval idea. Don't get me started. I have thought about every facet of religion, and I can't buy any of it.

[E]ncouraging the Muslim world, and particularly the Arab Muslim world, which is the heart of the global terrorist threat - to adopt democratic ways and to shine the light of liberty into its culture of medieval darkness is a pragmatic necessity for the future security of the civilized world.

No stigma attaches to the love of money in America, and provided it does not exceed the bounds imposed by public order, it is held in honor. The American will describe as noble and estimable ambition that our medieval ancestors would have called base cupidity.
There was a time in medieval England when they had wandering minstrels. . . A wandering minstrel would have been Frank Sinatra's counterpart had he lived during the time of Henry II in 1190 or 1180.
Consumerism has become a new religion, complete with its high priests at Which? and its fatwas against anyone with the temerity to try to sell anything at more than cost price. . . It is a depressingly medieval outlook on economic life.
The Hundred Years' War, like the crises of the Church in the same period, broke apart medieval unity.
In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the flesh– whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perish– thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust.
Talk. I'll just wait' shall I? Because my mission to save this town is of no importance whatsoever next to your girl talk. "- Myrnin "Oh, shut up, you medieval drama queen" - Claire

You have people chopping off heads of Christians and others. Not since medieval times has anyone seen anything like this.
Free market ideology - does anyone know where it first comes from? It comes from medieval Islam, and specifically, Shari'a. Because Shari'a provided this commercial law that is independent from the state.
I'd like to do a story about the medieval ages where in every scene you'd sort of feel that you were in the 12th century. That would be great to get that feeling.
Comics, which are really best described as an arrangement of images in a sequence that tell a story - an idea - is a very old form of graphic communication.
