Famous quotes containing the words river and/or class:

    “Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    “The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
