“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
“One must astonish the bourgeois.”
Charles Baudelaire
“She was a bourgeois pig anyway. Her husband is a doctor,”
Emily Harris
“The trend is towards the bourgeois-smug.”
Gunter Grass
