Famous quotes containing the words red, cross and/or societies:

    “Poverty was an ornament on a learned man like a red ribbon on a white horse.”
    —Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)

    “Expecting me to grovel,
    she carefully covers both feet
    with the hem of her skirt.
    She pretends to hide
    a coming smile
    and won’t look straight at me.
    When I talk to her,
    she chats with her friend
    in cross tones.
    Even this slim girl’s rising anger
    delights me,
    let alone her deep love.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
