On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.
From Karl Marx
The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.
If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.
Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.
Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
