Thanks for this post, put a smile on my face.

Could choose any of the quotes to illustrate our day and age, like nothing has essentially changed in the world.

" In the twenties in Moscow, one could ask again, "Who Can Be Happy and Free in Russia?"

And one would answer, "Maxim Gorky in Sorrento." "

A winning formula, minus being Gorky (what a bastard).

Tolstoy didn't live long enough to read Pasternak's Hamlet.
