Famous quotes containing the word classes:

    I am ... by tradition and long study a complete snob. P. Marlowe and I do not despise the upper classes because they take baths and have money; we despise them because they are phony.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    There are four classes of idols which beset men’s minds. To these for distinction’s sake I have assigned names—calling the first class Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theatre.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    Journalists belong in the gutter because that is where the ruling classes throw their guilty secrets.
    Gerald Priestland (b. 1927)
