“Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one—the triumph of Christianity —that can be called in the fullest sense a "revolution": a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good.”

“The Western world has lost its civil courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, each government, each political party and of course in the United Nations.

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
