Preparation for the future was necessary, and he was willing to admit that the great change would perhaps come in the upheaval of a revolution. But he argued that revolutionary propaganda was a delicate work of high conscience. It was the education of the masters of the world. It should be as careful as the education given to kings. ~ Joseph Conrad
Class Distinction quotes by Joseph Conrad
There are things in American culture that want to wipe the class distinction. Blue jeans. Ready-made clothes. Coca-Cola. ~ Leslie Fiedler
Class Distinction quotes by Leslie Fiedler
...that society with its hurtful views on race and class distinction would make it difficult for us to succeed. ~ Curtis W. Jackson
Class Distinction quotes by Curtis W. Jackson
I want to get totally rid of class distinction. As someone put it one of the papers this morning: Marks and Spencer have triumphed over Karl Marx and Engels. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Class Distinction quotes by Margaret Thatcher
We must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it. ~ Pablo Picasso
Class Distinction quotes by Pablo Picasso
There was a vividly clear class distinction between tech guys and finance guys. The finance guys saw the tech guys as faceless help and were unable to think of them as anything else. ~ Michael Lewis
Class Distinction quotes by Michael Lewis
Bravely you jog along with the rope of class distinction drawing closer, close, tighter, tighter around you ... I see it and know it, but I cannot help you ... I am only an unnecessary, little, bush commoner, I am only a - woman. ~ Miles Franklin
Class Distinction quotes by Miles Franklin
I had never met a lord before, nor had I ever expected to meet one. It didn't matter what he looked like: he was a lord first, and a human being, with a face and limbs and body, long, long after. ~ L.P. Hartley
Class Distinction quotes by L.P. Hartley
Rich People plan for three generations
Poor people plan for Saturday night ~ Gloria Steinem
Class Distinction quotes by Gloria Steinem
Art is a spiritual function of man, which aims at freeing him from life's chaos. Art is free in the use of its means in any way it likes, but is bound to its laws and to its laws alone. The minute it becomes art, it becomes much more sublime than a class distinction between proletariat and bourgeoisie. ~ Kurt Schwitters
Class Distinction quotes by Kurt Schwitters
Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem. ~ Orson Welles
Class Distinction quotes by Orson Welles
Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination. ~ Andrea Dworkin
Class Distinction quotes by Andrea Dworkin
The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives. ~ Martha Plimpton
Class Distinction quotes by Martha Plimpton
Talking about success in society, no one can complain, because today everyone can choose what he or she wants. They don't just have to choose between being proletarian or middle-class. Those kinds of things do not exist anymore. Today working class boys can play football and become multimillionaires. On football! There are no longer classes, who say that we are poor, we are suppressed by you etc. ~ Odd Nerdrum
Class Distinction quotes by Odd Nerdrum
The second reason why we haven't observed the growing gap is that our historical and social science analyses have concentrated on what has been happening within the 'middle classes' - that is, to that ten to fifteen percent of the population of the world-economy who consumed more surplus than they themselves produced. Within this sector there really has been a relatively dramatic flattening of the curve between the very top (less than one percent of the total population) and the truly 'middle' segments, or cadres (the rest of the ten to fifteen percent). ~ Immanuel Wallerstein
Class Distinction quotes by Immanuel Wallerstein
No longer should women be denied the right to vote, no longer should women be treated as second class citizens, no longer should women not be allowed to be a citizen at all. ~ Ginny Brown-Waite
Class Distinction quotes by Ginny Brown-Waite
Alfred Nobel stipulated that no distinction of race or colour will determine who received of his generosity. ~ Abdus Salam
Class Distinction quotes by Abdus Salam
We were friends back then, in the way that everyone is friends in kindergarten, before sociopolitical alliances begin to cement, and then, by the time third grade rolls around, you find yourself spending every game of Heads Down, Thumbs Up with your head down and your thumb up, completely ignored by your entire class until you begin to wonder if you've turned invisible. ~ Adib Khorram
Class Distinction quotes by Adib Khorram
We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war.
There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war.
Also they make money out of it. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Class Distinction quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Class Distinction quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I take as my fundamental starting point the fundamental distinction between work and interaction ~ Jurgen Habermas
Class Distinction quotes by Jurgen Habermas
When a doctor arrives to attend some patient of the working class, he ought not to feel his pulse the moment he enters, as is nearly always done without regard to the circumstances of the man who lies sick; he should not remain standing while he considers what he ought to do, as though the fate of a human being were a mere trifle; rather let him condescend to sit down for awhile. ~ Bernardino Ramazzini
Class Distinction quotes by Bernardino Ramazzini
Final cause is cause based on purpose or design: a wheel is round because that shape makes transportation possible. Physical cause is mechanical: the earth is round because gravity pulls a spinning fluid into a spheroid. The distinction is not always so obvious. A drinking glass is round because that is the most comfortable shape to hold or drink from. A drinking glass is round because that is the shape naturally assumed by spun pottery or blown glass. ~ James Gleick
Class Distinction quotes by James Gleick
You can't buy class. ~ Peter Hook
Class Distinction quotes by Peter Hook
You did not just say that. I have the feeling were on the verge of hugging and coming up with cute nicknames for each other." -Christian
"I already have a nickname for you, but I'll get n trouble if I say it in class." - Rose ~ Richelle Mead
Class Distinction quotes by Richelle Mead
In college, books assigned for class were read as competitive sport - the more critically, the better. ~ Pamela Paul
Class Distinction quotes by Pamela Paul
Healing, discussing, processing our problems is so vital, but the distinction between the constant obsessing, complaining and focusing on the negative, it becomes almost like an addiction. Learning to reset and redirect is imperative, so we can focus more on gratitude, positivity, and all of the good in our lives. ~ Maranda Pleasant
Class Distinction quotes by Maranda Pleasant
Our insistence on being different from everything around us is one of the greatest mistakes of mankind. We stubbornly maintain an illusory distinction that sets us apart from rock and ice, water and fire, plant and animal. Both religion and rationality try to explain it through an elaborate vocabulary of separation - soul, atman, spirit, ghosts in the machine or simply the idea of selfhood. We have dreamed up gods so that we can reassure ourselves that somewhere, someday, somehow, after this life is over, something awaits us: a presence that recognizes who we are. But if we approach a mountain instead, accepting that we are nothing more or less than an integral part of its existence, our ego merges with the nature of the mountain. In ~ Stephen Alter
Class Distinction quotes by Stephen Alter
We did not adopt socialism out of books, abstractions, humanism, or pity, but rather out of need for the Arab working class is the mover of history in this period. ~ Michel Aflaq
Class Distinction quotes by Michel Aflaq
Never take things for granted. Never ignore what is obvious. ~ Arnold Arre
Class Distinction quotes by Arnold Arre
I think it likely that some of my pupils will reach unusual distinction. ~ Howard Pyle
Class Distinction quotes by Howard Pyle
One class of elementary school students, for example, sent a letter to party authorities asking "for your help, since we are falling down from hunger. We should be learning, but we are too hungry to walk."75 ~ Timothy Snyder
Class Distinction quotes by Timothy Snyder
The following day I decided to take the boat to Corfu where my friend Durrell was waiting for me. We pulled out of Piraeus about five in the afternoon, the sun still burning like a furnace. I had made the mistake of buying a second class ticket. When I saw the animals coming aboard, the bedding, all the crazy paraphernalia which the Greeks drag with them on their voyages, I promptly changed to first class, which was only a trifle more expensive than second. I had never traveled first class before on anything, ~ Henry Miller
Class Distinction quotes by Henry Miller
We may say, in a broad way, that Greek philosophy down to Aristotle expresses the mentality appropriate to the City State; that Stoicism is appropriate to a cosmopolitan despotism; that stochastic philosophy is an intellectual expression of the Church as an organization; that philosophy since Descartes, or at any rate since Locke, tends to embody the prejudices of the commercial middle class; and that Marxism and Fascism are the philosophies appropriate to the modern industrial state. ~ Bertrand Russell
Class Distinction quotes by Bertrand Russell
Our government is committed to investing in world-class research networks such as GlycoNet, which will develop new drugs and vaccines to fight diseases that affect millions of Canadians. These investments will improve our quality of life and contribute to the creation of a stronger, more innovative economy and a more prosperous Canada. ~ Rona Ambrose
Class Distinction quotes by Rona Ambrose
The Psalms draw a hard and fast distinction between the righteous and the wicked, something that is not appreciated in a period of religious syncretism. ~ Kevin Swanson
Class Distinction quotes by Kevin Swanson
she described in a separate paragraph the Haredi community, and how within it religious practice was a total way of life. The distinction between what was rendered to Caesar and what to God was meaningless, much as it was for observant Muslims. ~ Ian McEwan
Class Distinction quotes by Ian McEwan
At high school I was never comfortable for a minute. I did not know about Lonnie. Before an exam, she got icy hands and palpitations, but I was close to despair at all times. When I was asked a question in class, any simple little question at all, my voice was apt to come out squeaky, or else hoarse and trembling. When I had to go to the blackboard I was sure - even at a time of the month when this could not be true - that I had blood on my skirt. My hands became slippery with sweat when they were required to work the blackboard compass. I could not hit the ball in volleyball; being called upon to perform an action in front of others made all my reflexes come undone. I hated Business Practice because you had to rule pages for an account book, using a straight pen, and when the teacher looked over my shoulder all the delicate lines wobbled and ran together. I hated Science; we perched on stools under harsh lights behind tables of unfamiliar, fragile equipment, and were taught by the principal of the school, a man with a cold, self-relishing voice - he read the Scriptures every morning - and a great talent for inflicting humiliation. I hated English because the boys played bingo at the back of the room while the teacher, a stout, gentle girl, slightly cross-eyed, read Wordsworth at the front. She threatened them, she begged them, her face red and her voice as unreliable as mine. They offered burlesqued apologies and when she started to read again they took up rapt postures, mad ~ Alice Munro
Class Distinction quotes by Alice Munro
The Aristocratic Institutions of England [had] acted much like the Slavery Institutions of America ... [in] demoralis[ing] large classes outside their own special boundaries ... [in producing] a long habit of submission ... [and in] enfeebl[ing] by corrupting those who should assail them. ~ John Bright
Class Distinction quotes by John Bright
Every time I asked a question, that magnificent teacher, instead of giving the answer, showed me how to find it. She taught me to organise my thoughts, to do research, to read and listen, to seek alternatives, to resolve old problems with new solutions, to argue logically. Above all, she taught me not to believe anything blindly, to doubt, and to question even what seemed irrefutably true, such as man's superiority over woman, or one race or social class over another. ~ Isabel Allende
Class Distinction quotes by Isabel Allende
Had our tour group sat down to draw up a manifesto, it might have gone something like this. We the young, urban, middle class tend to lead a rushed life working for corporates that care more for their bottom-lines than for their employees or the environment. As stressed, unfulfilled, moneyed individuals we then seek satiety in consumption, a treadmill which, besides drawing us further into the same trap, is environmentally unsustainable and has far-reaching consequences. If we would only be willing to to lead a slower, simpler life, we might not have all the shiny stuff, but our work might be better aligned with our talents and dispositions, and we would have opportunity and time to introspect, explore, and lead more fulfilling lives. Everyone would then be growing according their own genius. ~ Srinath Perur
Class Distinction quotes by Srinath Perur
Particularly with middle-class people, self-absorption is a struggle. ~ Ben Lewin
Class Distinction quotes by Ben Lewin
I might as well clinch my reputation as a world-class nutcase by saying something good about Karl Marx, commonly believed in this country, and surely in Indian-no-place, to have been one of the most evil people who ever lived. He did invent Communism, which we have long been taught to hate, because we are so in love with Capitalism, which is what we call the casinos on Wall Street. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Class Distinction quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Let me guess ... " said Mal. She popped a piece of candy into her mouth. "New class?" Doug nodded sheepishly. ~ Walt Disney Company
Class Distinction quotes by Walt Disney Company
The government's coercive taxing power necessarily creates two classes: those who create and those who consume the wealth expropriated and transferred by that power. ~ Sheldon Richman
Class Distinction quotes by Sheldon Richman
I knock people out. As soon as I land my shots on him, you will see the difference between class and hype. He's been built up and he believes the hype, but I will beat reality into him. ~ David Haye
Class Distinction quotes by David Haye
North Carolina is home to some of the largest financial institutions in the country, and a vibrant network of community banks. We're a banking state, and we're proud of that distinction. But we also understand that responsible financial regulation protects consumers and businesses. ~ Kay Hagan
Class Distinction quotes by Kay Hagan
I quickly realized that there are two main kinds of diversity - demographic and moral ... Once you make this distinction, you see that nobody can coherently even want moral diversity. If you are pro-choice on the issue of abortion, would you prefer that there be a wide variety of opinions and no dominant one? Or would you prefer that everyone agree with you and the laws of the land reflect that agreement? If you prefer diversity on an issue, the issue is not a moral issue for you; it is a matter of personal taste. ~ Jonathan Haidt
Class Distinction quotes by Jonathan Haidt
I can't understand how people can settle for having just one life. I remember we were in English class and we were talking about that poem by - that one guy. David Frost. 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood-' You know this poem, right? 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth-"
"I loved that poem. But I remember thinking to myself: Why? How come you can't travel both? That seemed really unfair to me. ~ Dan Chaon
Class Distinction quotes by Dan Chaon
Indians abroad tend to stick together. They join Indian clubs, regularly visit mosques, temples and gurdwaras and eat Indian food at home or in Indian restaurants. Very rarely do they mix with the English on the same terms as they do with their own countrymen. This kind of island-ghetto existence feeds on stereotypes - the English are very reserved; they do not invite outsiders to their homes because they regard their homes as their castles; English women are frigid, etc. I discovered that none of this was true. In the years that followed, I made closer friends with English men and women than I did with Indians. I lived in dozens of English homes and shared their family problems. And I discovered to my delight that nothing was further from the truth that the canard that English women are frigid. ~ Khushwant Singh
Class Distinction quotes by Khushwant Singh
When I was twelve, my sixth-grade English class went on a field trip to see Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. From that moment forward I dreamed that someday I'd meet my own Juliet. I'd marry her and I would love her with the same passion and intensity as Romeo. The fact
that their marriage lasted fewer than three days before they both were dead
didn't seem to affect my fantasy. Even if they had lived, I don't think their
relationship could have survived. Let's face it, being that emotionally aflame, sexually charged, and transcendentally eloquent every single second can really start to grate on a person's nerves. However, if I could find someone to love just a fraction of the way that Montague loved his Capulet, then marrying her would be worth it. ~ Annabelle Gurwitch
Class Distinction quotes by Annabelle Gurwitch
Refined and delicate natures understand the cat. Women, poets, and artists hold it in great esteem, for they recognize the exquisite delicacy of its nervous system; indeed, only coarse natures fail to discern the natural distinction of the cat. ~ Champfleury
Class Distinction quotes by Champfleury
Create sacred spaces in the workplace as well. Classrooms, five years ago, professors would say, I don't want be a nanny to my students. They can do whatever they want. Now professors are saying, put away that laptop, because studies show that it not only takes away the attention of the person who's on the laptop from the class, but everyone around them. There's like a circle around that person that's distracted and not paying attention. ~ Judy Woodruff
