Why can't you understand? The stars fall down now and then. The gaps have to be filled.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.

During my time in the camps, I had got to know the enemies of the human race quite well: they respect the big fist and nothing else the harder you slug them, the safer you will be.
