Natural Classes

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or classes:

    Knowledge has two extremes. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great minds, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same natural ignorance from which they set out; this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
