1 " Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. "
― Vladimir Lenin
2 " Unity is a great thing and a great slogan. But what the workers’ cause needs is the unity of Marxists, not unity between Marxists, and opponents and distorters of Marxism. "
3 " He loved her with the fire of a thousand suns, she was his solace in the chaos, his redemption. "

8 " The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them. "
9 " And is it not sects, bodies of definite, uncompromising principles, that lead us into revolutions? "
10 " The task of a truly revolutionary party is not to declare that it is impossible to renounce all compromises, but to be able, through all compromises, when they are unavoidable, to remain true to its principles, to its class, to its revolutionary purpose, to its task of paving the way for revolution and educating the mass of the people for victory in the revolution. "
11 " I am bound to accord you, in the name of free speech, the full right to shout, lie and write to your heart’s content. But you are bound to grant me, in the name of freedom of association, the right to enter into, or withdraw from, association with people advocating this or that view. "
12 " Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country. "

16 " Those who live by the labor of others are taught by religion to practice charity while on earth, thus offering them a very cheap way of justifying their entire existence as exploiters and selling them at a moderate price tickets to well-being in heaven. Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man. "
― Vladimir Lenin ,
17 " Private property based on the labour of the small proprietor, free competition, democracy, i.e., all the catchwords with which the capitalists and their press deceive the workers and the peasants- are things of the past. Capitalism has grown into a world system of colonial oppression and of the financial strangulation of the overwhelming majority of the people of the world by a handful of "advanced" countries. And this "booty" is shared between two or three powerful world marauders armed to the teeth"..."who involve the whole world in their war over the sharing of their booty. "
18 " All official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery. "
19 " Three keys to success: read, read, read. "
