Famous quotes containing the words country and/or capital:

    It is almost as safe to assume that an artist of any dignity is against his country, i.e., against the environment in which God hath placed him, as it is to assume that his country is against the artist.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
