In proportion as capital accumulates, the lot of the laborer, be his payment high or low, must grow worse.

The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.

It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.

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

Be aware that the reward for labour, and quantity of labour, are quite disparate things.

My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.
