More quotes by Karl Marx

Image
The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley of ties that bound man to his natural superiors, and left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment.
Karl Marx
Image
Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
Karl Marx
Image
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.

Karl Marx
Image
It is a bad thing to perform menial duties even for the sake of freedom to fight with pinpricks, instead of with clubs. I have become tired of hypocrisy, stupidity, gross arbitrariness, and of our bowing and scraping, dodging, and hair-splitting over words. Consequently, the government has given me back my freedom.
Karl Marx
Image
It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.
Karl Marx
Image
A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains.
Karl Marx

To destroy Christianity, we must first destroy the British Empire.
Karl Marx
Image
We know that violent measures against religion are nonsense but this is an opinion: as socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part.

All I know is I'm not a Marxist.
Karl Marx

There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits. (Preface to the French edition).

Free education for all children in public schools... Combination of education with industrial production
Karl Marx
Image
He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.
Karl Marx

We know only a single science, the science of history. History can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. However, the two sides are not to be divided off as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.
