Trust? Trust? You know what Stalin said about that, right? Tom Send a noteboard - 05/12/2012 11:31:17 PM
"Здоровое недоверие - хорошая основа для совместной работы."

(And no, I don't think that I can find any basis for him saying, "I trust no one, not even myself" - that was just a legend)
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
