Courage | Honesty | Strength

ORDINARY COMMON HONESTY
“They tell me: Man, you’re bold! But that is not true. Courage was never my strong point. I simply considered it beneath my dignity to fall to the level of my colleague’s cowardice . . . One day posterity will remember . . . This strange era, these strange times . . . When ordinary common honesty was called ‘courage’.” Yevgeny Yevtushenko, quoted by Harrison Salisbury in “A New Russia?”
