Famous quotes containing the words communist, party, underground and/or exile:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The party out of office becomes the articulate one.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations

Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“the bird in the poplar tree
dreaming, his head
tucked into
far-and-near exile under his wing ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
