Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right Quotes

“Religion is the opiate of the masses.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“I am nothing but I must be everything.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“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.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusions about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

“Ser radical é tomar as coisas pela raiz. Mas, para o homem, a raiz é o próprio homem.”
― Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
