Adam Mickiewicz
“as for those of you who are complicit, it is not you that I want to destroy, but your shackles”
Adam Mickiewicz, Dziady

Сергей Владимирович Волков
“Культура империи была аристократична, но аристократизм вообще есть основа всякой высокой культуры. (Вот почему, кстати, народы, по какой-либо причине оказавшиеся лишенными или никогда не имевшие собственной «узаконенной» элиты — дворянства и т.п., не создали, по существу, ничего достойного мирового уровня, во всяком случае, их вклад в этом отношении несопоставим с вкладом народов, таковую имевшими.) Сама сущность высоких проявлений культуры глубоко аристократична: лишь немногие способны делать что-то такое, чего не может делать большинство (будь то сфера искусства, науки или государственного управления). Наличие соответствующей среды, свойственных ей идеалов и представлений абсолютно необходимо как для формирования и поддержания потребности в существовании высоких проявлений культуры, так и для стимуляции успехов в этих видах деятельности лиц любого социального происхождения.”
Сергей Владимирович Волков, Почему РФ - не Россия
