Famous quotes containing the words bourgeois and/or friends:
“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)
“though I loved them for their faults
As much as for their good,
My friends were enemies on stilts
With their heads in a cunning cloud.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
