Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.

It is a noteworthy fact that kicking and beating have played so considerable a part in the habits which necessity has imposed on mankind in past ages that the only way of preventing civilized men from beating and kicking their wives is to organize games in which they can kick and beat balls.

We veneer civilization by doing unkind things in a kind way

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood

He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature

Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.
