The class Class is an instance of itself; that is, it’s a Class object. 
And there’s more.
Remember the class Object? Well, Object is a class—but classes are 
objects. So,Object is an object. And Class is a class. And Object is a 
class, and Class is an object.

Which came first? How can the class Class be created unless the class 
Object
already exists? But how can there be a class Object (or any other class) 
until there’s a class Class of which there can be instances?

This is a paragraph taken from David A. Black's book.The above paragraph 
made me too confused.

Thanks
