Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or ages:
“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the laws’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Let us praise his works beyond the ages and times, beyond eternity!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
