Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

I was told, continued Egremont, that an impassable gulf divided the Rich from the Poor; I was told that the Privileged and the People formed Two Nations, governed by different laws, influenced by different manners, with no thoughts or sympathies in common; with an innate inability of mutual comprehension.

Summary

In this quote, Egremont expresses his awareness of a stark division between the rich and the poor. He emphasizes how these two groups of people are essentially living in separate worlds, governed by distinct laws and influenced by different values. The quote further signifies that there is little to no understanding or connection between these two social classes. Egremont suggests that the vast gap between the privileged and the masses is not only physical or economic but also extends to their thoughts and emotions, making mutual comprehension between the two challenging, if not impossible.
