Class Night

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or night:

“You see, after the war—and don’t forget it lasted a hundred years—thousands of us went from door to door, asking for honest work, and we were whipped for begging. The ruling class didn’t say, “Work or starve.” They said “Starve, for you shall not work.””
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

“Last night you wrote on the wall: Revolution is poetry.
Today you needn’t write; the wall has tumbled down.”
