Famous quotes containing the words classes of, classes and/or jumps:

    There are two classes of men called poets. The one cultivates life, the other art,... one satisfies hunger, the other gratifies the palate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
    Head held back, forefeet out,
    Balls tight in a tough hair sack
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
