I am stretching out this volume, since those German dogs estimate the value of books by their cubic contents.

All I know is that I am not a Marxist.

Religion is the opiate of the people.

Do not be deluded by the abstract word Freedom. Whose freedom? Not the freedom of one individual in relation to another, but freedom of Capital to crush the worker.

I am a machine, condemned to devour them and then, throw them, in a changed form, on the dunghill of history.

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