Bourgeois Revolution

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or revolution:

    The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.
    Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

    I see every day more clearly the value, necessity, and sanative qualities of the three B’s: Bench, Ballot, Barricade.
    Aurora C. Phelps, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (May 21, 1868)
