Sponge/classes

Famous quotes containing the words sponge and/or classes:

“He who has been impoverished for a long time ... who has long stood before the door of the mighty in darkness and begged for alms, has filled his heart with bitterness so that it resembles a sponge full of gall; he knows about the injustice and folly of all human action and sometimes his lips tremble with rage and a stifled scream.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.”
