“The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.”
― Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

― Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks

“To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty.”
― Maximilien de Robespierre

“How many times have I wondered if it is really possible to forge links with a mass of people when one has never had strong feelings for anyone, not even one's own parents: if it is possible to have a collectivity when one has not been deeply loved oneself by individual human creatures.

― Antonio Gramsci
