Severe Classical

Famous quotes containing the words severe and/or classical:

“It’s unthinkable not to love—you’d have a severe nervous breakdown. Or you’d have to be Philip Larkin.”
—Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)

“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)
