Marcus Aurelius: All those (events in history) were such dramas as we see now, only with different actors. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5224




Marcus Aurelius: Acquire the contemplative way of seeing how all things change into one another, and constantly attend to it, and exercise thyself about this part (of philosophy). For nothing is so much adapted to produce magnanimity. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5225


Marcus Aurelius: All things are implicated with one another, and the bond is holy; and there is hardly anything unconnected with any other things. For things have been co-ordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. For there is one universe made up of all things, and one god who pervades all things, and one substance, and one law, and one reason. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5226



Marcus Aurelius: Nature which governs the whole will soon change all things which thou seest, and out of there substance will make other things, and again other things from the substance of them, in order that the world may ever be new. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5227


Marcus Aurelius: This is a fine saying of Plato: That he who is discoursing about men should look also at earthly things as if he viewed them from some higher place; should look at them... a mixture of all things and an orderly combination of contraries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5228


Marcus Aurelius: The nature of the universe is the nature of things that are. Now, things that are have kinship with things that are from the beginning. Further, this nature is styled Truth; and it is the first cause of all that is true. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5229



Marcus Aurelius: As thou thyself art a component part of a social system, so let every act of thine be a component part of social life. Whatever act of thine that has no reference, either immediately or remotely, to a social end, this tears asunder thy life, and does not allow it to be one, and it is of the nature of a mutiny, just as when in a popular assembly a man acting by himself stands apart from the general agreement. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5230


Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed. - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5231







Virgil: The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way: But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5235




Theodore White: The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping poli tical power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about— an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties, and mandarins. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5238




Rosa Luxemburg: Without general elections, without freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, without the free battle of opinions, life in every public institution withers away, becomes a caricature of itself, and bureaucracy rises as the only deciding factor. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5240



Emir Sader: If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most other monkeys starved to death, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell was going on with it. When humans do that, we put them on the cover of Forbes. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5242


Barbara Ehrenreich: Please, no more talk of companies “giving” people jobs. In reality, the gift relationship goes in the opposite direction. Workers give their blood, sweat and tears, sometimes their lives, and in return companies pay them the minimum they can get away with. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5243



Lenin: The idea of building communist society exclusively with the hands of the Communists is childish, absolutely childish. We communists are but a drop in the ocean, a drop in the ocean of the people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5244




Malala Yousafzai: I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5245


Lenin: We started this. Exactly when, at what time, the proletarians of which nation will carry this matter to the end is an insignificant question. The essential is that the ice is broken, that the path is open, the road is shown. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5246


Lenin: The proletariat, rallying in the struggle, developing by the struggle its own consciousness, organization and experience, comes ever wider and wider to firm conviction of the need for a complete economic reorganization of capitalist society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5247


Lenin: Having read with great tremendous interest and unflagging attention John Reed’s book, “The Ten Days That Shook the World,” I sincerely recommend this book to workers of all countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5248


Lenin: In the capitalist world, Marx's doctrine arouses the greatest enmity and hatred of all bourgeois science, which considers marxism something like a "pernicious sect." One cannot expect a different attitude, because there cannot be a science that is “impartial" in a society built on class struggle. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5249



Lenin: In one way or another, all bourgeois science defends wage slavery, and marxism declared a merciless war on that slavery. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5250
