Famous quotes containing the word english:

    “The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    “As I learn from you,
    I guess you learn from me—
    although you’re older—and white—
    and somewhat more free.

    This is my page for English B.”
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
