Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs. – Karl Marx
The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people. – Karl Marx
In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality. – Karl Marx
The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production. – Karl Marx
