Class Relics

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or relics:

    There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
    Where cold and unhonour’d his relics are laid.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
