Bourgeois Revolution

Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or revolution:

    Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.
    Dorothy Day (1897–1980)

    You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
