Famous quotes containing the words class and/or launched:
“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)
“A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
