• Bourgeois society is infected by monomania: the monomania of accounting. For it, the only thing that has value is what can be counted in francs and centimes. It never hesitates to sacrifice human life to figures which look well on paper, such as national budgets or industrial balance sheets.

  Simone Weil

• If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.

• Historically and politically, the petit-bourgeois is the key to the century. The bourgeois and proletariat classes have become abstractions: the petite-bourgeoisie, in contrast, is everywhere, you can see it everywhere, even in the areas of the bourgeois and the proletariat, what's left of them.

• Las instituciones funcionan así. Un hijo es asesinado por la policía y no se hace nada. Las instituciones envían a la familia de la víctima a un tiovivo, yendo de un organismo a otro, hasta que se cansan y se rinden. es una forma muy eficaz de machacar a la gente pobre y oprimida, que no tiene tiempo para llevar sus casos. El tiempo es dinero para los pobres. Ir a Sacramento significa perder el sueldo de un día, a menudo la pérdida del empleo. Si esto es una democracia, obviamente es una democracia burguesa limitada a las clases media y alta. Sólo ellas pueden permitirse participar en ella.

• Its such a paradox. You come from this place where you want fame; you dont want to be bourgeois, but you want to be successful. You want to be accepted, but you also want to be going against the grain. You want to be on the outside, but you want to be on the inside.

• El escritor guarda rencor a la sociedad, que documenta con relatos de sexo insatisfactorio, ambición no realizada, soledad sin paliativos y un sentimiento de angustia local y global. La plaza, la superpoblación, la burguesía, la bomba y el cóctel son identificados como fuentes del rencor. Con un poco de obscenidad por aquí, una pizca de filosofía por allá y un considerable lloriqueo en general, nace una novela satírica moderna.

  Renata Adler

• The piano is the social instrument par excellence... drawing-room furniture, a sign of bourgeois prosperity, the most massive of the devices by which the young are tortured in the name of education and the grown-up in the name of entertainment.

• I didn't go to bookshops to buy. That's a little bourgeois. I went because they were civilized places. It made me happy there were people who sat down and wrote and wrote and wrote and there were other people who devoted their lives to making those words into books. It was lovely. Like standing in the middle of civilization.
