I want to mention that Marx shares something, if you don't mind the comparison, with the Old Testament: many people talk about him, but nobody has read him.

Understanding a person does not mean condoning; it only means that one does not accuse him as if one were God or a judge placed above him.

Mobilizing the love of life is the only force that can defeat the love for the dead.

Love is active penetration of the other person, in which my desire to know is stilled by union. In the act of fusion I know you, I know myself, I know everybody - and I "know" nothing.

In the sleeping state, instead, one is much more oneself, even if society never ceases to intervene.

If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.

Finally one arrives at this: the state of sleep has an ambiguous function; in sleep, the lack of contact with the culture brings out the worst and also the best in us.
