Quotes by Isaac Deutscher (?)

“I do not think that a man's rise to power is necessarily the climax of his life or that his loss of office should be equated with his fall.”
― Isaac Deutscher, The Prophet Armed: Trotsky, 1879-1921

“Wherever he went he left footprints so firm that nobody could later efface or blur them, not even he himself, when on rare occasions he was tempted to do so.”
― Isaac Deutscher, The Prophet Armed: Trotsky, 1879-1921

“But his compensation was the unique magnitude of his horizon. Compared with this vision, which Trotsky drew in his cell in the fortress, the political predictions made by his most illustrious and wisest contemporaries, including Lenin and Plekhanov, were timid or muddle-headed.”
― Isaac Deutscher, The Prophet: The Life of Leon Trotsky
