Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included. Karl Marx
When the economists say that present-day relations? the relations of bourgeois production? are natural, they imply that these are the relations in which wealth is created and productive forces developed in conformity with the laws of nature.

Thus, there has been history, but there is no longer any. Karl Marx

Man makes his own history, but he does not make it out of the whole cloth; he does not make it out of conditions chosen by himself, but out of such as he finds close at hand. Karl Marx
