But there is a devil of a difference between barbarians who are fit by nature to be used for anything, and civilized people who apply them selves to everything.
Karl Marx
Image
The circulation of capital realizes value , while living labour creates value .
Karl Marx
Image
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
Image
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
Karl Marx
Image
The object of art like every other product creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.
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
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

Karl Marx
Image
It's possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way.
Karl Marx
Image
I am a machine, condemned to devour them and then, throw them, in a changed form, on the dunghill of history.
Karl Marx
Image
The essence of the free press is the reliable, reasonable and moral nature of freedom.
Karl Marx
Image
If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, binding me and nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, the universal agent of separation?
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
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They open declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
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
Image
Revolutions are the locomotives of history.
Karl Marx
Image
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
Karl Marx
Image
I pre-suppose, of course, a reader who is willing to learn something new and therefore to think for himself.

Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.
