Probably one of the strongest quotes of the 20th century.

β€œthe line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being"

Magnificent. That's where we're at today. The people have chosen the lie and will pay the price. Colluding with a big lie can only lead to trouble.

Great writing here Sean about a great man! A true hero to be sure. I’ve read his speeches from β€œWarning to the West” which are great but haven’t read gulag yet. I’ve got gulag on the shelf. Time to pick it up.

Read large portions of the three Gulag volumes long ago for a Russian literature class in undergrad. Long, difficult reading (compared to Ivan Denisovich, Cancer Ward, First Circle) - but so very good.
