Once the inner connection is grasped, all theoretical belief in the permanent necessity of existing conditions collapses before their collapse in practice -- Letter to Ludwig Kugelmann (July 11, 1868)

Society is a sort of organism on the growth of which conscious efforts can exercise little effect.

Man makes religion, religion does not make man

Change the economic base and you will change human beings.

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the fact of the world and see the collapse of this pygmy giant. Then will I wander god-like and victorious through the ruins of the world. And giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
