Yevgeny Zamyatin
By complex ways, by looking deep into the dark well of the human soul, full of filth, somewhere at the very bottom of it Chekhov at last found his faith. And this faith turned out to be faith in man, in the power of human progress. And man became his god.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
There is no joy nobler than suffering for the sake of love for man.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
