For God's sake, let's take the word 'possess' and put a brick round its neck and drown it ... We can't possess one another. We can only give and hazard all we have.

Use words to please, to instruct, to soothe. Then stop speaking.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call &#39;failure&#39; is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Samo je neki drugi Rus mogao da razume reakcionarnu i sovjetofilsku mešavinu kakvu su nudili kobajagi-živopisni-Komarovi, za koje su idealnu Rusiju činili Crvena armija, miropomazani monarh, kolhozi, antropozofija, ruska crkva i hidroelektrane.
