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.”
