"While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser."

"The development of productive forces has reached a point where the existence of private property and the bourgeoisie are incompatible with further social development."

"The worker has an even greater need for capital than capital has for the worker."

"The worker becomes poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and size."

"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole."
