Bourgeois Revolution

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or revolution:

    “That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “The Husband of To-Day ever considers his wife but as a portion of his my-ship.
    Nominative I.
    Possessive My, or Mine.
    Objective Me.
    This is the grammar known to the Husband of To-Day.”
    —Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (June 24, 1869)
