"To discover the various use of things..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“The state is based on this contradiction. It is based on the contradiction between public and private life, between universal and particular interests. For this reason, the state must confine itself to formal, negative activities.”

“For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him.”

“The full man does not understand the wants of the hungry”

“Language is fossil Poetry.”

“It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.”

“The society that loses its grip on the past is in danger, for it produces men who know nothing but the present, and who are not aware that life had been, and could be, different from what it is.”

“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

“A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.”

“Every experiment, by multitudes or by individuals, that has a sensual and selfish aim, will fail.”
