Famous quotes containing the words portland and/or class:

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum.

    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games.
