"Even when the tide of war had turned ... Stalin's armies suffered a relentless hemorrhage or deserters, many of them "Eldash" or "Youssefs" — Asians ... like many Red officers, [Nikolai Belov] felt able to rely only on his own racial group, writing after reinforcements reached the unit: "what is good about them is that they are well-trained and all of them are Russian. These men won't desert." (374-5)" — Oct 09, 2025 07:02PM

“I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.”

“Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!" It seems to me that there is nothing which would stimulate a man's sense of responsibleness more than this maxim, which invites him to imagine first that the present is past and, second, that the past may yet be changed and amended.”

“The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts will do the same thing in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in a path or a breath caught at the sight of a pretty girl or a finger nail nicked in the garden soil.”
