Class Quotations | Page 18

We are truly excited to introduce our incoming class for the fall of 2006. It is a very balanced group of players who will add depth and quality all over the field.

We have some holes to fill, especially with Gabe and Trevor. But with the recognition we've gotten, we should have a good supporting class coming in that should bring us through for the next two or three years.

Well what's interesting about this is that at first glance, when you look at it you think, 'oh this is a movie about racism or about racial tension or issues or whatever, but on closer examination you realize it's about poverty, and our class system and how that affects people and how devastating it actually is and it's I think a very pertinent issue right now in America.

We will add a grade each year until that class reaches the 12th grade.

We have a fighter's chance. Obviously, Chesapeake is still the class of the conference and have proven that up to this point. We have a shot at a No. 4 or 5 seed in the tournament, and if we get that we only have to win one game to win the sectional.

We have a good senior class and they do a good job of getting the guys ready.

We have a good strong nucleus of sophomores and have a really nice freshman class,

We have a great freshman class. We're going to give the upper class a push for spots, but it's not competitive. You can always look to (the other freshmen) to help the team out and stuff like that.

We have a huge black middle class. But they have to remember to look back and bring others along.

We have a level of growth now in the world that is low enough for the Fed not to raise interest rates by a lot, but high enough for companies to grow profits in a very good way. Equities are the least over- valued asset class and growth is very decent.

We've moved up a class, it's going to be tougher. I'm confident we'll keep improving, but the players have to go through it on their and experience it for themselves.

We even went to a class about financial aid at the school, ... We thought, 'Oh, we're going to learn all about financial aid tonight.' We walked away and we didn't know any more than the day we walked into the class.

We really only have three seniors with floor routines. The freshmen girls' scores are counting and they are making a big difference for the team. The freshmen are probably the future of the team. This senior class is classy and great role models. I think they are learning a lot about hard work and teamwork.

I was always the Class Clown and over time became very good at it. I started doing comedy on stage at the Dallas Comedy Corner where I honed my skills by watching guys like Garry Shandling, Robin Williams, Jay Lena and more.

We'll accept applications through Feb. 10, or until the class of 15 fills up, whichever comes first.

Well, as you've said, we cannot expect the people of China not to want to progress, so if you have an opportunity to progress, to develop your economy to a world class economy, it's an aspiration that is natural and that, I welcome.

That's their privilege. The only thing is that they are forfeiting the option of getting out of class or getting out of the cafeteria.

That was a really good team we beat tonight. A big Class B team too, so that will really gives us some added confidence heading into the final stretch.

That was my reason for going to Ohio State, to be one of those top guys chosen and be in the class of receivers who've played there. I really wanted to be part of that tradition.

That was one of the first things I looked at, ... We're the 78th team in Class 6A and Cypress Bay is the largest. We get to go against them, and they're one of the teams to beat.

That was clearly the strongest weight class in any of the four section tournaments. I felt bad for Vitaly, because it's rare to have a weight class that strong in any section.

That was a good class last year. A bunch of those kids have helped us already and a lot more will down the road. But one kid can affect the mood of a class. We lost one on signing day last year and everyone was really down. This year, we picked one up and it's a completely different attitude. That's human nature, I understand that.

I took ethics classes in college, and it always amazes me how they [tabloids] will blatantly say something that I did not say, in quotation marks. The first thing that we learned in ethics is that you better have it right. If you're putting quotation marks around something, it better be exactly what that person said.

If any writer thinks the world is full of middle class people of nice sensibilities, then he is out of his mind.

It may be asserted without scruple, that no otherclass of dependants have had their character so entirely distorted from its natural proportions by their relations with their masters.

There is a huge antipathy in England between the north and the south, the working class and the owning class.

You weren’t world-class when Arsenal signed you.

That would probably help. I think P.J. is probably going to class now.

That was the last recruiting class I was part of here,

That was a tough weight class year. I think this year he will be right there in the mix again.

Majorities are of two sorts: (1) communal majority and (2) political majority. A political majority is changeable in its class composition. A political majority grows. A communal majority is born. The admission to a political majority is open. The door to a communal majority is closed. The politics of political majority are free to all to make and unmake. The politics of communal majority are made by its own members born in it.

Unlike cheap stocks, inexpensive asset classes have a lower chance of big drawdowns (broad asset classes don't go to zero) and a higher probability of average or better returns.

Vee lowered her lashes and smiled wickedly. "This class isn't going to teach me anything I don't already know." "Vee? As in virgin?" "Not so loud." She winked just as the bell rang, sending us both to our seats, which were side by side at our shared table.

Science is an investigation," Coach said, sanding his hands together. "Science requires us to transform into spies." Put that way, science almost sounded fun. But I'd been in Coach's class long enough not to get my hopes up.

What was up with class today? It was watered-down porn. He practically had you and Patch on top of your lab table, horizontal, minus your clothes, doing the Big Deed.

class was like watered down porn today. Vee said

You gotta be rich to be insane, Hol. Losing your mind is not a luxury for the middle class.

Journalism classes teach us that one must extract oneself from the story in order to report without bias, but often we need to be in the story in order to understand, to connect, to help the audience identify or else it has no heart; it could be a robot telling the story, for all anyone cares.

We set the admission goal for new students at 340. Many factors go into consideration with that, such as the classes offered, class availability, class size, budget for new faculty and how many current students return and how many graduate. The number shouldn't be less than 340 but not higher than 355.

We set up our first class for Sept. 9 and 10 and had 20 people immediately sign up. So it's full. We're working on our second class for Sept. 19 and 20 and there are openings.

The terrible thing in England is if you interview a thousand people, five hundred of them will talk like they're going into a Guy Ritchie movie and the other five hundred will be Mr. Darcy. So we had to find cool, working class kids with no profile who could be John Travolta and James Dean and people like that.

The fact that Latinos are underrepresented in the service causes us concern because the service is often a way to the middle class for many immigrants. If you don't have a lot of options, would you rather go into the service and get a middle-class career, or stay in the fields all these years?

We have rooms that leak due to poor roof conditions. Also, take a look at class sizes. Thirty-plus full-grown seniors are stuck in a 600-square-foot room. At class transition times, students must cram into the small hallways. It is a safety issue.

There are a lot of Class AAA wrestlers and obviously the out-of-state wrestlers in this tournament. I wanted to show everybody that a Class AA wrestler can win at this tournament.

I had great memories of growing up in a working class estate. I remember it being sunny all the time. So we're putting that on screen. It's not people wallowing in degradation.

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

The actual sight of a first-class house that a Negro has built is ten times more potent than pages of discussion about a house that he ought to build, or perhaps could build.

I was in the top ten percent of my law school class. I am a Doctor of Juris Prudence. I have an honorary Doctor of Laws. So, would somebody please tell me why I spent four mortal hours today conversing with a person named Dizzy Dean.

We've been hopeful another year class would emerge to help support the fishery, and now it appears we have one.

There are some universal rules governing human travel and they can be used to develop a new class of model for the spread of infectious disease.

There are more people who fit into the class of elderly. The more people in the group, the more cases you'll have. The problem is a lot of bad age-discrimination cases ruin it for the rest of them. You do see a number of people claiming age discrimination with little merit. It sours the courts on age-discrimination cases.

What the NFL and Reebok wanted was to find some company that was very reliable ... and has world-class, top-notch machines that will not break down.

I left my apartment in London and I sold everything. I literally had $1000 and a suitcase when I got on the plane. The next day I enrolled in my first acting class. We had some great people, Jim Carrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Molly Ringwald. It was very inspirational.

I love Hitchcock movies. I took a Hitchcock class in college, so I saw all his movies. I wrote papers on his movies.

I refuse to charge for my karate classes, I refuse to charge for Q&A panels, and when people come to my table, if you have money, great, but if you don't, who cares?

The real bug here is that the design of the system even permits this class of bug. It is unconscionable that someone designing a critical piece of security infrastructure would design the system in such a way that it does not fail safe.

We're a community built for the Olympic Games. We have world-class sporting venues and we have a history of success,

A woman must be nursed into subsistence by love, where a man can become stronger by being hated." - from 'Cows in Art Class

The best real-estate investments with the highest yields are in working-class neighborhoods, because fancy properties are overpriced.

We did have a first co-op class 18 months ago. This time, the interest has been magnified exponentially.

We want the black middle class and we are confident that they will want us once they see what we have to offer, which is really good information, entertainment and service. But that doesn't rule out the white market because let us face it, black people have been watching and enjoying white entertainment forever. So why can't the opposite be true. We are not pointing to race so much as lifestyles in defining our market and these days and times, many different lifestyles are emerging.

As long as women are using class or race power to dominate other women, feminist sisterhood cannot be fully realized.

Whether we're talking about race or gender or class, popular culture is where the pedagogy is, it's where the learning is.

Class is rarely talked about in the United States; nowhere is there a more intense silence about the reality of class differences than in educational settings.

We live in a world with serious class complexes. It is one thing to be a college student with loan debts and another thing to be just dirt poor for your entire life. The challenge is to come up with more complex understandings of where we are, more global awareness of what connects Americans with what is happening with suffering and oppressed people all around the world.

None of us should be ashamed to speak of our class power or lack of it. Overcoming fear, even the fear of being immodest, and acting courageously to bring issues of class- especially radical standpoints – into the discourse of blackness is a gesture of militant defiance, one that runs counter to bourgeois insistence that we think of “money” in particular and class in general as private matters.

Had middle class black women begun a movement in which they had labeled themselves "oppressed," no one would have taken them seriously.

Yearning is the word that best describes a common psychological state shared by many of us, cutting across boundaries of race, class, gender, and sexual practice.

A central tenet of modern feminist thought has been the assertion that "all women are oppressed." This assertion implies that women share a common lot, that factors like class, race, religion, sexual preference, etc. do not create a diversity of experience that determines the extent to which sexism will be an oppressive force in the lives of individual women.

What's so amazing about this historical moment is that it is bringing class to the fore and we have to think about the nature of work and hierarchy.

The fact is that it was bourgeois white feminism that I was reacting against when I stood in my first women's studies classes and said, "Black women have always worked."

Congress is a middle-aged, middle-class, white male power structure ... no wonder it's been so totally unresponsive to the needs of this country.

I have a lot of rage about things that didn't happen to me, tied up with watching an immigrant, working-class father struggle to make his way through the world - and seeing how society was modeled to keep him in his place.

The skilful class of flatterers praise the discourse of an ignorant friend and the face of a deformed one.

Through my music teaching and my not absolutely irregular attendance at church, I became acquainted with the best class of colored people in Jacksonville.

The world is divided into two classes - invalids and nurses.

Banks don't want certain asset classes, and that's created opportunities for private equity, hedge funds, Silicon Valley. In this case I think he was referring to some of the European banks shedding assets, and the big buyers are probably not going to be big American banks. Someone like Blackstone may have a very good chance to buy those assets, leverage them, borrow up a little bit, and do something good there.

We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.

There are very few cases of a young, educated, middle-class North Korean defector who would get a good South Korean education and then make what would seem as a 'normal' career in the South.

This program was excellent and offered much more than I expected. The professors were impressive and explained the material in a way that all of us could understand. I really enjoyed the class on real estate because that is an area I hope to get involved in one day.

This puts Pepsi in a class by themselves and that's why Coke is not happy.

This quarterback class looks pretty good, ... It looks pretty broad based across the entire draft. But I don't care how good an evaluator you are and what your track record is, you draft a guy in the first round, it's a crapshoot. It's 50-50. And that's the thing that will concern most teams. ... When one of us is wrong, we're kind of all wrong, and that tells you how iffy the evaluation of the quarterback process is.

There are too many people trying to take opportunity from people in the middle class.

We have had three really good meetings and we are still visiting. There will be an announcement next week. That was at my request because I want this recruiting class to get all of the attention it deserves.

We have high expectations for this class to fill our greatest need at goalkeeper and add depth to the rest of the positions. All of these players are expected to come in and fight for starting positions.

We're happy we're not facing an all-junior and senior Class C team again this week. Wakefield is similar in size, but we can't take them lightly. I'm sure they're looking for their first win, like we're looking for our second.

If woman's sole responsibility is of the domestic type, one class will be crushed by it, and the other throw it off as a badge of poverty. The poor man's motto, 'Woman's work is never done,' leads inevitably to its antithesis - ladies' work is never begun.

Judy Garland is a singer with a capital S. And talk about soul. This woman was soul personified. Judy Garland is a class by herself.

Rwanda was considered a second-class operation because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they'd accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.

It's ginned up by the corporate plutocracy as a way of distracting the working-class people that it's screwing. We hamstring our own natural progressivism in this country, and that's really stupid.

There is definitely a buzz around the program, and it's not only about the recruiting class we've got coming in, it's the season we just had.

Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.

In a regular class I don't focus on the form, but I think that focus is helpful for brainstorming and coming up with ideas quickly, especially with autobiographical material.

Drugs and drinking affect every family I know, country and city, middle-class and poor.

Of course I haven't seen it! I wouldn't look at anything of Kim Kardashian's. I have never seen that show. I just think the Kardashians are just so cheap! No class.

In the days when Glastonbury was an alternative festival, it was quite interesting. Now it is the most bourgeois thing on the planet ... we'll leave the middle classes to do Glastonbury and the rest of the great unwashed will decamp to Knebworth and drink a lot of beer and have fun.

So when you do board, the first class people, they're sitting there. A lot of them are working as your boarding. They have computers out and calculators. They're looking up at you like, Hey, we're making money right now!

You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind....Cain slew his brother. Can might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.

After the Dance was my first attempt at nonfiction. I'd never really participated in carnival, and I really wanted to go. It sounded like a wonderfully fun thing to do. And I wanted to write something happy about Haiti, something celebratory. And going to carnival gave me a chance to do that, because it is one of the instances in Haiti when people shed their class separation and come together.
