London is a city of ghosts; you feel them here. Not just of people, but eras. The ghost of empire, or the blitz, the plague, the smoky ghost of the Great Fire that gave us Christopher Wren's churches and ushered in the Georgian city.

In Tbilisi in 1990, I recall watching zealous Georgians smash statues of Lenin and Stalin. A few days earlier, though, in Moscow I had been invited to address the Red Army, as one of the first Brits to benefit from Glasnost. The subject they chose: The Cuban Missile Crisis.

Mikheil Saakashvili can claim that 80 per cent of Georgians wanted to join NATO; on the other hand, a similar percentage of Russians would almost certainly support Putin's quest for a strong Russia. We would mistake this mood at our peril.
I'd gone to Oxford to do graduate studies in the history of the slave trade, but I came across Georgiana's letters, gave up that thesis, and wrote one on her instead. When I learned that Georgiana's great-nephews supported opposite sides in the American Civil War, I knew this would be the perfect sequel.
Amanda Foreman
I was a graduate student at Oxford when I discovered Georgiana.
I do like silver. I love antiques. I collect Georgian glass at home. When you think about how fragile that it is and think about how long these things have lasted - some of it is 400 years old - I find the history of these things extraordinary.
Anthony Warlow
We will be a state that puts hardworking Georgians - no matter their ZIP code or political preference - first.
Brian Kemp
Georgians have made their decision, and now it's my job to keep our state moving forward.
When I go across the state, people are really asking the question, 'Who is up there fighting for us? Who is fighting for us at the state capital for the little guy out here, for the working Georgian, for the Georgian family?'
We need to open up private sector markets. We need to empower small business people, working Georgians, and entrepreneurs.
I've run my whole campaign on putting Georgians first, and I'm going to continue to do that, unlike Ms. Abrams, who wants to give the HOPE scholarship and free college tuition to those who are here illegally.
To ensure a bright and healthy future for hardworking Georgians, we must increase access to quality, affordable health care.
I love walking along Leith's waterfront and wandering around some of New Town's beautiful streets and squares, with their gorgeous Georgian architecture.
Dexter Fletcher
Linda Georgian is a wonderful psychic. She can do amazing things.
Dionne Warwick
Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting.
Drew Barrymore
No Georgian has the right to evade or neglect his duties and responsibilities.
Eduard Shevardnadze
It's often been said that politics in Islington, in many ways, begins and ends with housing, and it's not hard to see why. Despite the borough's image of exclusivity - the stereotype that it's all Georgian squares and cappuccino bars - the reality is much more complex.
Emily Thornberry
The part of Limerick we lived in is Georgian, you know, those Georgian houses. You see them in pictures of Dublin.
Frank McCourt
If I could create an ideal world, it would be an England with the fire of the Elizabethans, the correct taste of the Georgians, and the refinement and pure ideals of the Victorians.
H. P. Lovecraft
My mother played the organ in church at Georgiana, and I sat on the seat beside her.
Hank Williams
General Lee, this is no place for you. These men behind you are Georgians and Virginians. They have never failed you and will not fail you here. Will you boys?
I make it a point to go home every weekend so I can meet with Georgians and hear from them directly.
I identify as a Georgian who wants to do right by Georgia.
Hard work and making the most of life - that's what makes Georgians great.
It started in Georgia. Everyone sings there. I mean, it's all they do. So at eight, I heard a lot of Georgian singing, which is often really complicated, with seven- or eight-part harmonies.
The Georgians will treat you like royalty, and the odds are you'll do a lot of eating, drinking and toasting.
We Georgians are really into food and drink. We would never have finger food at a party or a wedding - celebrations are always one long meal, on one long table, with endless toasts.
I'd also like to explore more of Georgia, my home country, because one day I really want to make an album that is written in the Georgian language.
I don't cook very often but when I do I try and make Georgian food. I made a hinkali recently, which is like ravioli but is the size of your palm, with meat in the middle and thicker dough.
Most cities are eclectic. There's a bit of medieval, Georgian, some Victorian and some 20th century. That's fine. Bath is different because it was built within 100 years or less. It has a homogeneity.
In 21st-century America, as in Georgian Britain, elections are raucous, flamboyant, flag-waving, expensive, and sometimes ramshackle things.
We must continue our work to improve and strengthen health care for Georgians, and we must defend the vital protections and programs that protect the health and wellbeing of families across our nation.
Georgian England was very radical; there were all these new revolutionary ideas, and I think women had more freedom than they did later on.
Here I sit, beneath the large window of a first-floor Georgian flat, exploring the corridors of my sordid imagination for comedic words of beauty.
It is time we Georgians did not depend only on others, it is time we asked what Georgia will do for the world.
No, my family is Russian, Georgian, via Ellis Island.
Georgians aren't interested in labels or affiliation, they're interested in solutions. And that begins by making Washington smaller and America bigger!
What I am proposing this year are not lofty concepts far removed form the daily struggle so of ordinary Georgians. They are proposals that directly effect the lives of the people we serve.
And one of the things I've tried to do in my first months in office is to give more Georgians - reporters and members of the general public alike - a closer look at how their government works.
Hours before the Georgian invasion, Russia had been working to secure a United Nations Security Council statement calling for a renunciation of force by both Georgia and South Ossetians. The statement that could have averted bloodshed was blocked by western countries.
We have been protecting the lives of the Russian peacekeepers who had been attacked by their Georgian comrades, because there was a joint peacekeeping force.
When the Georgian army started this assault against the sleeping city of Tskhinvali, the Georgian peacekeepers, serving in one contingent with their Russian friends, joined the army and started killing the Russian comrades in arms.
The graceful Georgian streets and squares, a series of steel engravings under a wet sky.
In the new Georgia, Stalin is no longer Georgian. He's a Russian emperor.
'Daddy used to be a Georgian,' Stalin's son, Vasily, once said. Actually, the dictator didn't truly become Russian; he remained Georgian culturally. Yet he embraced the imperial mission of the Russian people.
While most know the young Stalin was a seminarian, few realize that he was also a Georgian patriot, a published romantic poet.
My family and I live in a wing of a Georgian mansion in East Sussex, which was built in the 1780s and fell into disrepair. It was rescued in the Seventies and carved into six terrace houses.
We deserve an economy that works in every county, for every Georgian, and helps families thrive - not just survive.
I will stand up on issues as they arise, making sure that the voices of Georgians are always being heard.
Georgians understand obligation, love of family, and payment plans.
