Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.

I am a convinced and consistent critic of party-parliamentarism. I am for non-partisan elections of true people's representatives who are accountable to their regions and districts; and who in case of unsatisfactory work can be recalled. I do understand and respect the formation of groups on economical, cooperative, territorial, educational, professional and industrial principles, but I see nothing organic in political parties. Politically motivated ties can be unstable and quite often they have selfish ulterior motives.

One should not ascribe the evil deeds of individual leaders or political regimes to an innate fault of the Russian people and their country.

I dare hope that all the peoples who have lived through communism will understand that communism is to blame for the bitter pages of their history.

A forest doesn't weep over one tree.

But what can you say in a letter?

Every human act can be disguised with a coating of gilt.
