Mother

"It's criminal, mother. The vicious murdering of the millions of people. The murdering of human souls. Do you see it? Killers of souls. And do you see the difference between them and us?  When we strike a fellow it is disgusting, shameful, hurtful - mostly, disgusting. But they kill thousands of people calmly and mercilessly, without any qualms and with the greatest satisfaction. And their only reason for crushing people to death is to preserve their silver and gold and securities and all the miserable stuff which enables them to enslave us. Think of it - it isn't their lives they're defending when they murder people and mutilate their souls - not their lives, but their possessions! The things that are outside a man, not what's within him." - Pavel Vlassov from the novel Mother by Maxim Gorky
