  • Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.

    "Collected Works", v. 3, " Introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right" by Karl Marx, 1843.
  • Beauty is the main positive form of the aesthetic assimilation of reality, in which aesthetic ideal finds it direct expression.

    "Grundrisse". Book by Karl Marx, 1857-1858.
  • As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.

    Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels (1975). “Karl Marx, Frederick Engels: collected works”
  • Music is the mirror of reality.

    Karl Marx, Regula Qureshi (2002). “Music and Marx: Ideas, Practice, Politics”, p.9, Psychology Press

But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality.

    Karl Marx (2007). “Capital: A Critique of Political Economy - The Process of Capitalist Production”, p.198, Cosimo, Inc.
