Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or period:

    “Against classical philosophy: thinking about eternity or the immensity of the universe does not lessen my unhappiness.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means “full stop” like in punctuation. That’s stupid as well. A period isn’t a full stop. It’s a new beginning. I don’t mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean it’s a new beginning to the month, relief that you’re not pregnant, when you don’t have to have a child.”
    —Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
