Famous quotes containing the words classical, complement and/or pathway:

    “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 may be as much nobility in being last as in being first, because the two positions are equally necessary in the world, the one to complement the other.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “To learn from our enemies is the best pathway to loving them: for it makes us grateful to them.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
