About This Quote

The more powerful the class, the more it claims not to exist. This quote is often used when discussing the upper class. The upper class tends to be very arrogant and quite self-important, thinking highly of themselves and denying that they are part of any social group. They tend to see other social groups as inferior and believe that they should not be in their company because they cannot stand the thought of mixing with them. They will even try to pretend that there is no such thing as a class system in society in order to insult and belittle those in lower socioeconomic classes.
