Vladimir Dimitrievich Dudintsev was a Ukrainian-born Russian writer who gained fame for his 1956 novel, Not by Bread Alone, published at the time of the Khruschev Thaw.

Quotes by Vladimir Dudintsev (?)

“Страх наказания и нравственное чувство — разные вещи. Страх — это область физиологии. А трусость — область нравственности.”
― Vladimir Dudintsev

“Трусость — это не просто страх. Это страх, удерживающий от благородного, доброго поступка. Трусость отличается от страха. Мотоциклист не боится разбиться насмерть. Носится как угорелый. А на собрании проголосовать, как требует совесть, — рука не подымается. Труслив. Хороший человек преодолевает в себе чувство страха, физиологию. Но если угроза очень страшная, такое может быть... Хороший человек, и тот может дрогнуть. Это уже будет не трусость, а катастрофа. Но это не изменит его нравственное лицо. Человек останется тем, кем он был до своей погибели. И будет искать искупления.”
