When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, its merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy. – Alexei Navalny
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat. – Henry Miller
The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations. – Andre Breton
