* There is a tragic clash between Truth and the world. Pure undistorted truth burns up the world.* Every single human soul has more meaning and value than the whole of history.
* A human prefers to be a slave because gaining freedom is always difficult.
Nikolai Berdyaev
(Painting by Ivan Kramskoi )
P. s Nikolai Berdyaev was almost my childhood's favourite philosopher! :))))

I love Berdyaev, but this is not a picture of Berdyaev. The painter died in 1887 and Berdyaev would have been about 13 at the time. Great quotations though!
