“Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.”

Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.

We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.

As an ultimate objective, “peace” simply means communist world control.

Learning is never done without errors and defeat.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

You can become a Communist only when you enrich your mind with a knowledge of all the treasures created by mankind.

The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.

No Marxist can deny that the interests of socialism are higher than the interests of the right of nations to self-determination.

Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.

Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.

It would be the greatest mistake, certainly, to think that concessions mean peace. Nothing of the kind. Concessions are nothing but a new form of war.

The soundest strategy in war is to postpone operations until the moral disintegration of the enemy renders the delivery of the mortal blow both possible and easy.

Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state.

We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.

Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom.

The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.

In general, if any branch of trade, or any division of labour, be advantageous to the public, the freer and more general the competition, it will always be the more so.

I am you; you are ME. You are the waves; I am the ocean. Know this and be free, be divine.

I’m not ambitious. I don’t want to get anywhere, I don’t want anything more. I sometimes think that for me that is the real freedom, that I don’t want anything. I don’t want money or prizes. I want people to know that a war is going to be fought.

Love is for free, just expensive to shop.

My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.

NOTHING can/will define me! Free to be EVERYTHING!!!

Before man can be free, and equal, and truly wise, he must cast aside the chains of habit and superstition; he must strip sensuality of its pomp, and selfishness of its excuses, and contemplate actions and objects as they really are.

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
