Famous quotes containing the words star and/or class:

    “A rocket is an experiment; a star is an observation.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
