“A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.”

“Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.”

“With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stockbroker, can gain a reputation for being civilized”

“If there is hope, it lies in the proles.”

“There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.”
