Class Funerals

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or funerals:

    Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
    Frederick Douglass (c. 1817–1895)

    Since the last one in a graveyard is believed to be the next one fated to die, funerals often end in a mad scramble.
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
