Karl Marx
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.

Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men.”
Anonymous

Otto von Bismarck
“Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.”
Otto von Bismarck

Peter De Vries, Reuben, Reuben

Karl Marx
“To be radical is to grasp things by the root.”
Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
