Famous quotes containing the words class and/or ferry:

    “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”
    —Frederick Douglass (c.1817–1895)

    “And my eyes are blue;
    So ferry me across the water,
    Do, boatman, do!”

    “Step into my ferry-boat,
    Be they black or blue,”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
