Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.
From Karl Marx
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Without doubt, machinery has greatly increased the number of well-to-do idlers.
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.
Revolutions are the locomotives of history.
The English have all the material requisites for the revolution. What they lack is the spirit of generalization and revolutionary ardour.
