Famous quotes containing the words language and/or class:
“The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The class at Harvard in 1851, have purchased for themselves a notoriety they will not covet in years to come.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
