Bourgeois Revolution

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or revolution:

    The bourgeois stands like a question mark,
    Speechless, like the hungry cur,
    The ancient world stands there behind him,
    A mongrel dog, afraid to stir.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    A revolution does not last more than fifteen years, the period which coincides with the flourishing of a generation.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
