Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.
— Karl Marx
Karl Marx? Really? Good advice anyway.
strangely peculiar 
Apparently that’s from the other Karl Marx, a composer who composed music for the Nazi regime and songs for the Hitler Youth. That puts a different slant on it… still mulling over that, haha!
Was not aware there actually was another Karl Marx. Yeah, you don’t expect Nazis and Communists to have that kind of philosophy. People are forever interesting and puzzling.
They sure are!
