—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“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)
“A man in a cave or in a camp, a nomad, will die with no more estate than the wolf or the horse leaves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
