Politics is the soil in which the nettle of poisonous enmity, evil suspicions, shameless lies, slander, morbid ambitions, and disrespect for the individual grows rapidly and luxuriantly. Name anything bad in man and it is precisely in the soil of political struggle that it grows with particular liveliness and abundance.
Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky
But I'm not to be caught with such poor bait! I'm a big fish, I am.
Maxim Gorky
You will not drown the truth in seas of blood
