In homage to one of my earliest intellectual heroes

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, RIP.

Live not by Lies. (1974)

excerpt: And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul- don't let him be proud of his "progressive'' views, and don't let him boast that he is an academician or a people's artist, a merited figure, or a general--let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward. It's all the same to me as long as I'm fed and warm.
