“There are such vague feelings singing inside me, I don't know what I want myself. Or what I have the right to want.
But when I remember our consolation, that great saying 'Things have been worse', I always cheer up straight away. We aren't ones to hang our heads! We'll muddle along somehow!
Elena Alexandrovna says she has written ten letters in two evenings. It made me think what a wonderful thing it is - this sympathetic, steadfast consideration you have for people. Who nowadays remembers distant friends and gives up evening after evening for them? This is why it's so pleasant writing you long letters, because I know you will be reading them aloud, and then reading them again, and then going over them sentence by sentence and answering each point.
So may you continue to flourish, my friends, and may your light shine.”
― Solzhenitsyn Aleksandr Isaevich
