Abstract Classes

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or classes:

    What a cheerful rhyme! Clean not mean!
    Been not seen! Not tired—expired!
    We must now decide about place.
    We decide that place is the big weeping face
    And the other abstract lace of the race.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.
    William James (1842–1910)
