Famous quotes containing the word class:

    There might be a class of beings, human once, but now to humanity invisible, for whose scrutiny, and for whose refined appreciation of the beautiful, more especially than for our own, had been set in order by God the great landscape-garden of the whole earth.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
