Famous quotes containing the words communist and/or organization:

    I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.
