Wherever the want of clothing forced them to it, the human race made clothes for thousands of years, without a single man becoming a tailor.
Karl Marx
Image
Ideas do not exist separately from language.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.
Karl Marx
Image
There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery
Karl Marx

Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities.
