“The trend is towards the bourgeois-smug.”
Gunter Grass
“Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds”
Zig Ziglar
“Well, I wasn't smug with Sharon. But I was smug with Simon because I didn't think Steve had the X Factor. I'm not against him, I just think he was Mr Average.”
Louis Walsh
“To have a horror of the bourgeois is bourgeois”
Jules Renard
“Constant revolutionizing of production distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
Karl Marx
“Experience has taught me that the shallowest of communist platitudes contains more of a hierarchy of meaning than contemporary bourgeois profundity.”
Walter Benjamin
“How beastly the bourgeois is especially the male of the species.”
D.H. Lawrence
