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)

    “I suppose with the French Revolution for a father and the Russian Revolution for a mother, you can very well dispense with a family,” he observed.
