Famous quotes containing the words class and/or senators:

    You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in “the people.” One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
    And when he cried the little children died in the streets.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
