Famous quotes containing the word class:
“There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Money couldn’t buy friends, but you got a better class of enemy.”
—Spike Milligan (b. 1918)
“You see, after the war—and don’t forget it lasted a hundred years—thousands of us went from door to door, asking for honest work, and we were whipped for begging. The ruling class didn’t say, “Work or starve.” They said “Starve, for you shall not work.””
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
