Famous quotes containing the words age of, age and/or marxism:

    We are not cave dwellers anymore, we live in the age of technology. When someone needs a car, he does not need to build it. He can buy it. When someone needs a murder, he himself does not need to kill. He can order it.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.
    Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)

    There’s something about Marxism that brings out warts—the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.
