Famous quotes containing the words contribution and/or classes:

    He left behind, as his essential contribution to literature, a large repertoire of jokes which survive because of their sheer neatness, and because of a certain intriguing uncertainty—which extends to Wilde himself—as to whether they really mean anything.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Hannah More (1745–1833)
