    “When we our betters see bearing our woes,
    We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
    Who alone suffers, suffers most i’ the mind,
    Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
    But then the mind much sufferance doth o’er skip,
    When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
    —Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
