Middle Class Speakers

Famous quotes containing the words middle, class and/or speakers:

    Everything comes to him
    From the middle of his field. The odor
    Of earth penetrates more deeply than any word.
    There he touches his being. There as he is
    He is.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The intellectual is a middle-class product; if he is not born into the class he must soon insert himself into it, in order to exist. He is the fine nervous flower of the bourgeoisie.
    Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    All the great speakers were bad speakers at first. Stumping it through England for seven years made Cobden a consummate debater. Stumping it through New England for twice seven trained Wendell Phillips.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
