Bourgeoise Quotes

“The only sin is mediocrity.


(While widely attributed to Martha Graham she attributed this to her father)”
― Martha Graham

“Of all ridiculous things the most ridiculous seems to me, to be busy — to be a man who is brisk about his food and his work. Therefore, whenever I see a fly settling, in the decisive moment, on the nose of such a person of affairs; or if he is spattered with mud from a carriage which drives past him in still greater haste; or the drawbridge opens up before him; or a tile falls down and knocks him dead, then I laugh heartily.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
