“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.”

-Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Nisi forte non de serveitute, sed de conditione serviendi, recusandum est a nobis.

(We do not dispute about the qualifications of a master; we will have no master.)

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
