The progression of emancipation of any class usually, if not always, takes place through the efforts of individuals of that class. Harriet Martineau
The greatest trick the rich - and their cheerleaders on the right - ever pulled was convincing the world that class didn't exist. Out here in the real world, it is more real and more rigid than it has been for a century. Johann Hari
And I am interested in the fact that class is very much a factor in America, even though it's not supposed to be. Anne Tyler
The bore is usually considered a harmless creature, or of that class of irrationa bipeds who hurt only themselves. Maria Edgeworth
The very mudsills of society.... We call them slaves.... But I will not characterize that class at the North with that term; but you have it. It is there, it is everywhere; it is eternal. James Henry Hammond
The state is the product and the manifestation of the irreconcilability class antagonisms. The state arises when, where and to the extent that class antagonisms cannot be objectively reconciled. And, conversely, the existence of the state proves that the class antagonisms are irreconcilable. Vladimir Lenin
