The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best.

I entered the Communist Party because its cause was just and I will leave it when it ceases to be just.

You take souls for vegetables.... The gardener can decide what will become of his carrots but no one can choose the good of others for them.

As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

The Communist Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy; and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.

I was not the one to invent lies: they were created in a society divided by class and each of us inherited lies when we were born. It is not by refusing to lie that we will abolish lies: it is by eradicating class by any means necessary.

Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries; they are just good enough to be assassins.

What do you want to do with the [Communist] Party? A racing stable? What good is it to sharpen a knife every day if you never use it for slicing? A party is never more than a means. There is only one objective: power.

I do not give a damn about the dead. They died for the [Communist] Party and the Party can decide what it wants. I practice a live man's politics, for the living.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
