Dissident for Life Quotes

“But no one knows how the machine works, why it’s there and why it was made. Everything is senseless from beginning to end. Yet most senseless things have more meaning than everything else. Senseless things like art, literature, the sciences, all sorts of interests and hobbies, seem more important than everything else. Every form of spiritual life seems senseless because it only causes suffering in man, but at the same time it’s the most important thing. It is senseless to keep searching, but I shall go on searching for this very reason.”
― Koenraad de Wolf, Dissident for Life: Alexander Ogorodnikov and the Struggle for Religious Freedom in Russia
