One Of The Stupidest Theories

I Doubt Whether The Revolution Has, In Essentials, Changed Russia At All. Reading Gogol, Or Dostoevsky For That Matter, One Realizes How Completely The Soviet Regime Has Fallen Back On To, And Perhaps Invigorated, The Old Russia. Certainly There Is Much More Of Gogol And Dostoievsky In The Regime Than There Is Of Marx.

Behind The Debris Of These Self-styled, Sullen Supermen And Imperial Diplomatists, There Stands The Gigantic Figure Of One Person, Because Of Whom, By Whom, In Whom, And Through Whom Alone Mankind Might Still Have Hope. The Person Of Jesus Christ.

I Simply Make This Point, That The Monarchy In So Far, As It Is Identified With What Is, In My Opinion, An Obsolete Class Structure, Is Making A Mistake, And The Task Of Those Who Are Responsible For The Conduct Of The Monarchical Institution Is To Detach It From That Class Structure.

As An Old Man...looking Back On One's Life, It's One Of The Things That Strikes You Most Forcibly-that The Only Thing That's Taught One Anything Is Suffering. Not Success, Not Happiness, Not Anything Like That. The Only Thing That Really Teaches One What Life's About...is Suffering, Affliction.

I Think That Harold Macmillan Is A Very Intelligent Man, Who, As So Often Happens In Politics, Achieved Supreme Power Too Late.
