Classical Bit

Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or bit:

    Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.
    Eric Gill (1882–1940)

    unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag,
    of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag.
    Not always, mind you. Usually I’m like my frying pan
    useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
