[lbo-talk] Query on a quote

[Carl G. Estabrook]

In writing to his children (as I recall) Marx mentioned that he took as his motto a line from the Roman playwright Terence (Publius Terentius Afer, 195–159 BC) - from his comic play 
Heauton timorumenos ("The Self-Tormentor”): Homo sum: humani nihil a me alienum puto ("I am human, I consider nothing human alien to me”).  —CGE
