“Scientific socialism… is the most religious of all religions, and the true Social Democrat is the most deeply religious of men.”
“Religion is enthusiasm and ‘without enthusiasm it is not given to man to create anything great’.”
“The socialist ideal and socialist science prop up each other like the two halves of a magnificent arch.”
“Marxism is not simply a sociological doctrine, but an active programme of building.”
“He is more than this: he is a fighter and a builder.”
“Everything that aids the development and victory of the proletariat is good: everything that harms it is evil.”
“A real artist must be sensitive to truth, to the beauty of heroism and of the will to freedom.”
“Let us build a new school of the people.”
“The people has gained its freedom. It wants more light for itself and its children.”
“There is no return to the past.”
