Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Still, everybody wants to eat.
