"But as soon as [a table] emerges as a commodity, it changes into something that transcends sensuousness. It not only stands with its feet on the ground, but in relation to all other commodities, it stands on its head, and evolves out of its wooden brain grotesque ideas, far more wonderful than if it were to begin dancing of its own free will." The Fetishism of the Commodity and its Secret, Marx.
