“Consciousness grew out of the unconscious, psychology out of physiology, the organic world out of the inorganic, the solar system out of the nebulae. On all the rungs of this ladder of development, the quantitative changes were transformed into qualitative. Our thought, including dialectical thought, is only one of the forms of the expression of changing matter. There is place within this system for neither God nor Devil, nor immortal soul, nor eternal norms of laws and morals. The dialectic of thinking, having grown out of the dialectic of nature, possess consequently a thoroughly materialist character.”
― Leon Trotsky, The ABC of Materialist Dialectics

“Night is sublime, day is beautiful.”
― Immanuel Kant, Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime

“What is reflected and becomes the conceptual basis of the intellect [in the capitalist society] is the socially-synthetic capacity of the exchange abstraction or is the exchange abstraction in its socially-synthetic function. The intellect thinking in the forms of the exchange abstraction, in other words, think in the forms of the social synthesis. It thinks in social forms, thinks for society, and is, in fact, a mind socialized by form.”
― Alfred Sohn-Rethel

“Real negativity splits the logos from within, while from without it splits signification from reality.”
