Writers who say they are above politics are usually just below courage. by Maxim Gorky

Easy for you to say, Vladimir, you treat every conversation like a factory inspection.

Fine, but history still booked me first, and both of you were terrible guests.

And writers who say that out loud are usually above subtlety, which is worse.

This is why I left room for a quiet death scene and you turned it into a committee.

Subtlety is a luxury item. Print the leaflet or get off the platform.
