More quotes by Karl Marx
Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life.
Karl Marx
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.
Karl Marx
For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.
Karl Marx
Men can see nothing around them that is not their own image everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive.
Karl Marx
Every provisional political set-up following a revolution requires a dictatorship, and an energetic dictatorship at that.
Karl Marx
Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeosis epoch from all earlier ones.
Karl Marx
I am a machine, condemned to devour them and then, throw them, in a changed form, on the dunghill of history.
Karl Marx
I am greatly pleased with the public, authentic isolation in which we two, you and I, now find ourselves. It is wholly in accord with our attitude and our principles.
Karl Marx
Political economy regards the proletarian like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle.
Karl Marx
Work is external to the worker. . . . It is not part of his nature consequently he does not fulfill himself in his work but denies himself. . . . The worker therefore feels himself at home only during his leisure time, whereas at work he feels homeless.
Karl Marx
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx
History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
In the eyes of dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred.
Karl Marx
The more powerful the work, the more powerless the worker.
Karl Marx
In my free time I do differential and integral calculus.
Karl Marx
The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing.
Karl Marx
The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews, and what is more, a wonderful means whereby out of money to make more money.
Karl Marx
All history is nothing but a continuous transformation of human nature.
Karl Marx
Since labour is motion, time is its natural measure.
Karl Marx
The bureaucracy is a circle from which no one can escape. Its hierarchy is a hierarchy of knowledge.
Karl Marx
