Vladimir Lenin
“To regard the categories of the bourgeois system as eternal and natural is most typical of bourgeois philosophers.”
V.I. Lenin, What the "Friends of the People" Are and How They Fight the Social-Democrats

Oliver Burkeman
“If you don’t ask large questions, you’re going to have a small life.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Sergius Bulgakov
“Of all the things people hold dear, none is necessary: not talents, not successes, not accomplishments. All these are imaginary riches for oneself. There is one fortune and joy that God grants equally to every person: one’s own life, created in God, and a heart capable of loving and of rejoicing in love.”
Sergius Bulgakov, Spiritual Diary

Northrop Frye
“There’s something in all of us that wants to drift toward a mob, where we can all say the same thing without having to think about it, because everybody is all alike except people that we can hate or persecute. Every time we use words, we’re either fighting against this tendency or giving in to it. When we fight against it, we’re taking the side of genuine and permanent human civilization.”
Northrop Frye, The Educated Imagination

Sergius Bulgakov
“There is no death: there are only two worlds, or rather one, yet for the time being it remains, for us, divided.”
Sergius Bulgakov, Spiritual Diary
