In the following quotes, from a list of multiple answers, select who you think from whom and from which book did the following quotes originate from.
Question 1:
"As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent."
A) Marx - Kapital
B) Lenin - What is to be Done?
C) Mao - Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan
D) Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations
Question 2:
"The supersession of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution. The abolition of the proletarian state, i.e., of the state in general, is impossible except through the process of “withering away". "
A) Marx & Engels - The Communist Manifesto
B) Lenin - The State and Revolution
C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism
D) Mao - On the People's Democratic Dictatorship
Question 3:
"A person who really takes pain to cultivate himself and to be a faithful pupil of the founders of Marxism-Leninism will lay special stress on maintaining the Marxist-Leninist stand and using the Marxist-Leninist viewpoint and method to solve the problems arising in the revolutionary movement lead by the proletariat, as the founders of Marxism-Leninism did. He will give no thought whatsoever to his own position or fame in the Party, nor will he ever claim to be a Marx or a Lenin, nor require nor expect others to have the same high respect for him as for Marx or Lenin, for he does not think he has any right to do so. Yet such a person will enjoy the considered respect and support of the mass of the Party members just because he acts in this way, because he is always honest and loyal, brave and firm, and shows great ability in the revolutionary struggle."
A) Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung
B) Olgin - Why Communism? Plain Talks on Vital Problems
C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism
D) Liu - How to Be a Good Communist
Question 4:
"A committee from 42 organisations of starving Petrograd and Moscow workers is complaining about your inefficiency. I demand the maximum effort on your part, an end to a formal attitude to the work and the utmost assistance to the starving workers. In the event of failure, I shall be compelled to arrest the entire staff of your institutions and have them prosecuted. I have given urgent orders to increase the number of locomotives and trucks. You should immediately load the available two trains of 30 trucks each. Telegraph fulfilment."
"You are obliged to receive grain from the peasants day and night. If it is confirmed that you have not been accepting grain after 4 p.m. and compelling the peasants to wait until the morning, you will be shot."
A) Stalin
B) Trotsky
C) Lenin
D) Dzerzhinsky
Question 5:
"Take it aisy"
A) Marx
B) Mao
C) American rock band "The Eagles"
D) Engels

Okay I didn't do that well here, need to read more haha
But I have a sincere question to Hexbearers, especially those who have read a lot of theory, if you could help out a bit.
Do you think it would be better for me to read the same books everyone else around me reads, or should I focus on something that I think is important, but I don't see brought up often?
I figured it would be better if I specialized in things that I have an easier time with and find support to collaborate with, that would cover the areas where I lack in, but I could be wrong. So please do correct me where am I wrong.
Theory? that sounds like it's for nerds. It's also old.
