Classical Quotations
I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.
George Orwell
If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
Michel Foucault
Classical quotation is the parole of literary men all over the world.
Samuel Johnson
It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.
Stevie Nicks
I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.
John Fahey

Jeremy Rifkin

Ben Harper
Right now I'm listening to a lot of different things but I listen to a lot of classical music. Eventually I would like to compose and perform classical.
Ben Harper

Franz Beckenbauer
I think it's very important to maintain the classical Christian distinction between the Creator and creation.
John Polkinghorne
