Quotation of the Day for May 8, 2014



"And the simple step of a simple courageous man is not to partake in falsehood, not to support false actions! Let THAT enter the world, let it even reign in the world - but not with my help."

- Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, from his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1970. The lecture had to be smuggled out of the Soviet Union to be presented at the prize ceremony.
