    Max Nowaz
    “You don’t think he’s our man?” asked Adam. It occurred to him that Ramsbottom was not exactly forthcoming with information.
    “I didn’t say that,” Ramsbottom said. “In fact he is behaving very cautiously indeed, which makes me feel very suspicious.”
    “He has probably figured out that you are following him,” said Adam. “One can hardly fail to notice you hanging around all the time.”
    “That may be so,” said Ramsbottom.
    “Can’t you get a disguise or something?” asked Adam. “So he does not recognise you.”
    ― Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

    Todor Bombov
    “There is no word that admits of more various significations, and has made more varied impressions on the human mind, than that of liberty.” (Montesquieu) In order to exist, liberty and justice in a society, there should be equality in this society before them and together with them. Only then can we speak of humanism. Only socially equal personalities are free. And only free and equal in rights personalities could “love each other like brothers.”
    ― Todor Bombov, Socialism Is Dead! Long Live Socialism!: The Marx Code-Socialism with a Human Face
