Andrew Strauss
“Most of my influences are turn-of-the-century.”
George Crumb
“Imagine a nineteenth-century Jane Fonda visiting the Oglala Sioux in the Black Hills before the battle at Little Big Horn. Imagine her examining Crazy Horse's arrows or climbing upon Sitting Bull's horse. Such behavior by a well-known actress no doubt would have infuriated Gen. George Armstrong Custer, but what would the rest of us feel today?”
Tom Hayden
“This is a really talented guy that is really in the 21st Century.”

“Near the turn of the century, the destitute of Europe sprang on the city with tenacious claws and an honest and solid dream. The city devoured them. They swelled its belly until it burst into a thousand furnaces and sewing machines, a thousand butcher shops and bakers' ovens, a thousand churches and hospitals and funeral parlors and money lenders. The city grew. It nourished itself and offered each man a partnership limited only by his talent, his guile and his willingness and capacity for hard work. For the immigrants of Europe, a dream dared and won true.”
August Wilson
“The world is very different today than it was at the turn of the century.”
Danny Braet
“Back at the turn of last century, downtown Columbus was not a wholesome place to live. It was dirty and smoggy. People with means wanted to escape and they looked to the west and the heights on a bluff.”
