“I am engaged to Concord and my own private pursuits by 10,000 ties, and it would be suicide to rend them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
