Famous quotes containing the words olympic and/or classes:

    “Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.”
    —Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    “One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
