Alexandria Quote by Iain Pears
“Was not Hypatia the greatest philosopher of Alexandria, and a true martyr to the old values of learning? She was torn to pieces by a mob of incensed Christians not because she was a woman, but because her learning was so profound, her skills at dialectic so extensive that she reduced all who queried her to embarrassed silence. They could not argue with her, so they murdered her.”
![“I always enjoyed playing around Washington, because we always have a good crowd. I've never had a bad crowd in this vicinity from here [Alexandria], up to Washington and on to right around Baltimore. They've been some good fans.” quote by Ralph Stanley](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3fa/ralph-stanley-21787_alexandria_i-always-enjoyed-playing-around-washingt_580368.jpg)
