Bourgeois Man

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or man:

    I am actually what my age and my upbringing have made me—a bourgeois who adheres to the British constitution, adheres to it rather than supports it, and the fact that this isn’t dignified doesn’t worry me.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    This is the man who classified the bits
    Of his friends’ hells into a pigeonhole—
    He hung each disparate anguish on the spits
    Parboiled and roasted in his own withering soul.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
