Quotes{{Quote frame|"No matter who authored the Book of Genesis, he was just as wrong as the author of Capital: labor’s not a curse and not a joy, but a gift to the proletariat exiled from a futile paradise (because in the final reckoning, any tools of labor belong to God) and labor’s the only option for escaping existential horror".
