Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or period:

    “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)

    “There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the “best men,” as the Algonquins called them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
