Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The difference between people isn’t in their class, but in themselves. Only from the middle classes one gets ideas, and from the common people—life itself, warmth. You feel their hates and loves.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There are two classes of men called poets. The one cultivates life, the other art,... one satisfies hunger, the other gratifies the palate.”
