Famous quotes containing the words irving and/or gill:

    Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon—we have the stars.
    Casey Robinson, screenwriter. Irving Rapper. Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis)

    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)
