I the context that, this is specifically what Stroustrup says in 
his book (The Design and Evolution of C++ 1994)

"Simula's class concept was seen as the key difference, and ever 
since I have seen classes as the proper primary focus of program 
design." (chp1, page 20).

Freud would tell us, that Stroustups obssesion with Simula, is 
where it all began.

Stroustrup also wrote this paper in 1995 (due to all the hype of 
OO in the 90's), where again, he highlights how classes (and 
there derivatives) are his primary focus of program design:
