Karl Marx
There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.
Karl Marx

Karl Marx
Man makes religion, religion does not make man
Karl Marx
So far no chemist has ever discovered exchange-value either in a pearl or a diamond.
Karl Marx
The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals. Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.
Karl Marx
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.
Karl Marx
Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it.
Karl Marx
When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.
Karl Marx
History repeats itself, the first as tragedy, then as farce.
Karl Marx
