Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or class:

    “The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
