“I no longer have patience to spare for this
Europe where the autumn has the face of
spring and spring the smell of misery. But
I imagine with delight that other country
where summer crushes everything, where
the winter rains flood the towns and where,
finally, things are what they are”

“The fact that the terrorists came not only from the sewers of the WhiteGuard counter-revolution, but also from the scum of the Trotzky-Zinoviev opposition, tended to confuse some of those friends of the Soviet Revolution who do not know how bitterly Trotzky, Zinoviev, Kamenev and their followers fought against the Party and against the policies of the Soviet government since the first days of the October Revolution, whenever the Party had to make a decisive step or overcome a new hardship. They do not know that Trotzky and the Trotzkyites in the capitalist countries are in the forefront of the enemies of the proletarian dictatorship and of the Soviet Union and that they made it their business to supply the capitalist press with the most poisonous ammunition against the Party, just as Zinoviev, Kamenev and their followers did, according to their own published confessions in the Soviet Union.”

“He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.”

“Now the long wait was ending. On yet another world, intelligence had been born and was escaping from its planetary cradle. An ancient experiment was about to reach its climax.
Those who had begun that experiment, so long ago, had not been men -- or even remotely human. But they were flesh and blood, and when they looked out across the deeps of space, they had felt awe, and wonder, and loneliness. As soon as they possessed the power, they set forth for the stars. In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. they saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night.
And because, in all the Galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped.
And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.”
