Famous quotes containing the words discreet, slave and/or class:

    Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile; it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshness of a lake. There is no character in women’s faces before the age of thirty.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “... The slave will never thank his manumitter;
    Which often makes the manumitter bitter.”

    I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
