Bourgeois Mentality

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or mentality:

    Look a here people, listen to me,
    Don’t try to find no home in Washington, D.C.
    Lord, it’s a bourgeois town, it’s a bourgeois town.
    Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter (1889–1949)

    To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passion—far less by the white fire of love.
    Mary Webb (1881–1927)
