Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant… — Benjamin Disraeli

Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the same laws... The rich and the poor.
