That is not a quote from Karl Marx, but a paraphrase from the New Testament.

1 Timothy 6:10: 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Karl Marx saw money as an agent in the alienation of people since money could be used as a substitute for humanly desirable characteristics. For example, a man who is horribly atrocious could have the most wonderful woman with the power given him by money. Additionally, he saw money as alienating people from the production of their own personal items. When a person exchanges money for an item, a person is only complicit in the consumption or use of the item, but has no idea how it was made, separating it fundamentally from its constituent elements.
