“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart…even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.

― The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

“The planet is spinning on time: not a small event. All the galaxies are managing fine; the whole cosmos is doing great.

And you are insecure, because it can collapse at any moment.”
