Class Quotes

I teach class. I study music. I rehearse. I coach people. That’s it. I’m doing exactly what I want Picture Quote #1

I went to a high school that didn’t have many people in it. There were, like, 60 people in my senior class. There was a group of cool kids and a group of really dorky kids, and I was probably the coolest of the really dorky kids Picture Quote #1

When I was very young I never thought I was attractive, because I was a tomboy and I was always the biggest girl in the class Picture Quote #1

Do whatever rejuvenates you. It might be a cooking class, cocktails with the girls, or just private time with the hubby. We all have our moments where we run out of steam because we’ve given everything we’ve got to everyone else. Whoever decided that was a good thing? It’s not. Everyone needs to refuel Picture Quote #1

I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I’d always wanted to try it Picture Quote #1

I did not study science at school until I was 13, when I was totally turned on by a seemingly dreary old teacher who suddenly, unannounced, manufactured a huge explosion in the middle of a totally boring monologue. From then on, all of his class wanted to make explosions Picture Quote #1

If you look at total numbers in the working and middle class, men still on average make more than women Picture Quote #1

And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization a simply a question of relative strength Picture Quote #1

The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal Picture Quote #1

There’s a certain class of people who will do you in and then remain completely mystified by the depth of your pain Picture Quote #1

I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker Picture Quote #1

Love is a combination of admiration, respect, and passion. If you have one of those going, that’s par for the course. If you have two, you aren’t quite world class but you’re close. If you have all three, then you don’t need to die; you’re already in heaven Picture Quote #1

I can see that you’re in love, but only in a very narrow sense. It’s the love of someone that finds charms and qualities in a woman that she doesn’t actually have, who puts her in a class apart with every one else in second place, and who stays attached to her even while he’s abusing her Picture Quote #1

I was the new boy. It was like joining a new class at school where everybody knows everybody else but me Picture Quote #1

If there is one class of person I have never quite trusted, it is a man who knows no doubt Picture Quote #1

I used to sit in class and listen to the terms come floating down the room like paper airplanes Picture Quote #1

We all have a sense of level. It may not be based on class exactly anymore, but we still have a sense of what we’re entitled to. People pick partners who are nearly their equal in looks. The pretty marry the pretty, the ugly the ugly. To the detriment of the breed Picture Quote #1

We have to remind ourselves constantly that we are not saviours. We are simply a tiny sign, among thousands of others, that love is possible, that the world is not condemned to a struggle between oppressors and oppressed, that class and racial warfare is not inevitable Picture Quote #1

Even when I took first prize, topped the class, won the race, I never really won anything. I was merely avoiding the embarrassment of losing Picture Quote #1

They were indeed great rascals, and belonged to that class of people who find things before they are lost Picture Quote #1

Class is entirely intangible, and the way it affects things isn’t subject to scientific analysis, and it’s not supposed to be real but it’s pervasive and powerful. See; just like magic Picture Quote #1

What bothered me most was their lack of style. I learned early that class is universally admired. Almost any fault, sin or crime is considered more leniently if there’s a touch of class involved Picture Quote #1

You know, class is like magic. There’s nothing there you can point to, it evaporates if you try to analyse it, but it’s real and it affects how people behave and makes things happen Picture Quote #1

I was starting to realize the extent of the problem here: everyone is always lying to each other, and even when they’re trying to tell the truth, it can still be misleading or wrong. In fact, it almost always is wrong from at least one angle. I mean, the truth is really just a better class of lie Picture Quote #1

Man, I hated not being able to figure someone out. And from the slightly uncertain look he gave me as we all went to class, I suspected he felt the same way Picture Quote #1

Jeremy used to hate it when she was younger because someone in her class told her redheads were freaks of nature.But our mother told her that redheads were genetically more courageous than other people and that she should always where her hair long,like a wariors badge of honor Picture Quote #1

Teachers wondered why I didn’t speak up more in class. Why would I when I knew how precarious words could be, how betraying they were, how vulnerable they made you? Picture Quote #1

The inability to envision a certain kind of person doing a certain kind of thing because you’ve never seen someone who looks like him do it before is not just a vice. It’s a luxury. What begins as a failure of the imagination ends as a market inefficiency: when you rule out an entire class of people from doing a job simply by their appearance, you are less likely to find the best person for the job Picture Quote #1

He had put his hand up in class, a declaration of existence, a claim that he knew something. And that was forbidden to him. They could give a number of reasons for why they had to torment him; he was too fat, too ugly, too disgusting. But the real problem was simply that he existed, and every reminder of his existence was a crime Picture Quote #1

The middle class, in any society, plays the role of graphite rods in nuclear reactors: they slow down the reaction and, if it weren’t for them, the reactor would explode. A society without a middle class is a society primed for explosion Picture Quote #1
