More From Karl Marx

Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. the tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.

I felt amazed at the choosing one had to do, over and over a million times daily--choosing love, then choosing it again...how loving and being in love could be so different.

We know only a single science, the science of history. history can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. however, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

The materialist doctrine that men are products of circumstances and upbringing, and that, therefore, changed men are products of other circumstances and changed upbrinding, forgets that it is men that change circumstances and that the educator himself needs educating.

The catholic church holds that it is not admissible to ordain women to the priesthood, for very fundamental reasons. these reasons include: the example recorded in the sacred scriptures of christ choosing his apostles only from among men; the constant practice of the church, which has imitated christ in choosing only men; and her living teaching authority which has consistently held that the exclusion of women from the priesthood is in accordance with god's plan for his church.

Ever since men became capable of free speculation, their actions, in innumerable important respects, have depended upon their theories as to the world and human life, as to what is good and what is evil. this is true in the present day as at any former time. to understand an age or a nation, we must understand its philosophy, and to understand its philosophy we must ourselves be in some degree philosophers. there is here a reciprocal causation: the circumstances of men s lives do much to determine their philosophy, but, conversely, their philosophy does much to determine their circumstances.

The whole history of modern poetry is a continuous commentary on the short text of philosophy: every art should become science, and every science should become art; poetry and philosophy should be united.

Philosophy is life's dry-nurse, who can take care of us - but not suckle us.

How our story has been divided up among the truth-telling professions! religion, philosophy, history, poetry, compete with each other for our ears; and science competes with all together. and for each we have a different set of ears. but, though we hear much, what we are told is as nothing: none of it gives us ourselves, rather each story-kind steals us to make its reality of us.
