Famous quotes containing the words class and/or people:
“There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“... people will sometimes say, “Why don’t you write more politics?” And I have to explain to them that writing the lives of women is politics.”
—Grace Paley (b. 1922)
