Famous quotes containing the words classical, works and/or marimba:

    “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)

    “‘Tis too plain that with the material power the moral progress has not kept pace. It appears that we have not made a judicious investment. Works and days were offered us, and we took works.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
    one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
