Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
Image
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.
Karl Marx
Image
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
