Karl Marx
  • The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

  • Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.

  • In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

  • In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

  • Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.
