Capital

Famous quotes containing the word capital:

    Had I made capital on my prettiness, I should have closed the doors of public employment to women for many a year, by the very means which now makes them weak, underpaid competitors in the great workshop of the world.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    If little faults, proceeding on distemper,
    Shall not be winked at, how shall we stretch our eye
    When capital crimes, chewed, swallowed, and digested,
    Appear before us?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
