Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or class:
“I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
“The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
