Philosophy Quote by Karl Marx — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“As individuals express their life, so they are.”

“Communism is when iPhone.”

“...[G]reat progress was evident in the last Congress of the American 'Labour Union' in that among other things, it treated working women with complete equality. While in this respect the English, and still more the gallant French, are burdened with a spirit of narrow-mindedness. Anybody who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex (the ugly ones included).”

“Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!”

“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”

“Without causality in the world, there is no point in educating people, or making any moral or political appeal.”

“Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces "nice" people, not heroes.”

“To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.”

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.”

“Mankind is made of two kinds of people: wise people who know they're fools, and fools who think they are wise.”

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.”
