...it's only on a black day that you begin to have friends. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.

On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility. We have placed too much hope in political and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life. In the East, it is destroyed by the dealings and machinations of the ruling party. In the West, commercial interests tend to suffocate it. This is the real crisis.

Oh, how hard it is to part with power! This one has to understand.
