• We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'.

• You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, 'No, but it's got to have this.' In life, there are people like that attached to every single thing that there is. These are the same people that are like, still playing vinyl.

• ...for those whose favorite season is autumn with its days of cloudless sky, of spacious and clear, far-flung panoramas - those who view nature with detachment, for whom nature's appeal is primarily pictorial, classicists as opposed to romanticists, perhaps. On such a day, one is usually excited, physically exhilarated, mentally stimulated. Only not much is left for the imagination.

  Charlton Ogburn

• En mi propio trabajo, diría que soy clasicista, pero busco soluciones en todas partes. No estudio los hábitos de aseo de mis clientes, aunque sea un enfoque popular. Primero pienso en todos los edificios de la historia que han tenido un propósito similar. Luego pienso en el programa funcional, que es una parte importante del estudio.

  Philip Johnson

• El clasicista, y el naturalista que tiene mucho en común con él, se niegan a ver en las obras de arte más elevadas otra cosa que no sea el ejercicio del juicio, la sensibilidad y la habilidad. Para él, el arte es esencialmente irracional: una experiencia más allá de la normalidad, a veces destructiva de la normalidad y, como mínimo, evocadora de ese estado de asombro que es el estado mental inducido por lo inmediatamente inexplicable.

  Herbert Read

• Ellos [los críticos] tratan las primeras obras de Schoenberg y toda su riqueza clasificándolas, con el cliché histórico-musical, como postwagnerianas tardorrománticas. Lo mismo se podría decir de Beethoven como post-haydneriano del clasicismo tardío.
