Karl Marx
“In bourgeois society, living labour is but a means to increase accumulated labour. In Communist society, accumulated labour is but a means to widen, to enrich, to promote the existence of the labourer.

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.”
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

Aristotle
“The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor; it is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others; and it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in the dissimilar.”
Aristotle

Flora Tristan
“The most oppressed man finds a being to oppress, his wife: she is the proletarian of the proletarian.”
Flora Tristan

Diogenes of Sinope
“In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.”
Diogenes of Sinope

Friedrich Nietzsche
“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
