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 cannot make a revolution in white gloves.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
