Famous quotes containing the words hunt and/or class:

    Many of our German friends before the war would come as our guest to hunt wild pig. I refused to invite Goering. I could not tolerate his killing a wild pig— seemed too much like brother against brother.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz, U.S. director, screenwriter. Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Countess (Danielle Darrieux)

    Class is rarely talked about in the United States; nowhere is there a more intense silence about the reality of class differences than in educational settings.
