Russian Writer, Novelisst, Vegetarian, Pacifist, Christian Theorist, Libertarian, Ally of Anarchists, and Regarded as one of the Greatest Authors of all Time

Quote #16 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Oppression
“Men, as a whole, cannot desire discord and enmity, but always prefer to live in agreement and amity with their fellows. And if they now are disquiet and seem to wish you [the Czar] ill, it is only because you appear to them as an obstacle depriving not only them, but millions of their brothers, of the best human blessings -- freedom and enlightenment.”
