    Interview With Joseph Pearce, www.catholiceducation.org. February, 2003.
  • He had drawn many a thousand of these rations in prisons and camps, and though he'd never had an opportunity to weight them on scales, and although, being a man of timid nature, he knew no way of standing up for his rights, he, like every other prisoner, had discovered long ago that honest weight was never to be found in the bread-cutting. There was short weight in every ration. The only point was how short. So every day you took a look to soothe your soul - today, maybe, they haven't snitched any.

  • The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering, but in the development of the soul...

  • [He] understood the people in a new way...The people is not everyone who speaks our language, nor yet the elect marked by the fiery stamp of genius. Not by birth, not by the work of one's hands, not by the wings of education is one elected into the people. But by one's inner self. Everyone forges his inner self year after year. One must try to temper, to cut, to polish one's soul so as to become a human being. And thereby become a tiny particle of one's own people.

  • You should rejoice that you're in prison. Here you have time to think about your soul.

    "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". Book by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, www.huffingtonpost.com. November 1962.
  • Human beings yield in many situations, even important and spiritual and central ones, as long as it prolongs one's well-being.

  • Freedom! To fill people's mailboxes, eyes, ears and brains with commercial rubbish against their will, television programs that are impossible to watch with a sense of coherence. Freedom! To force information on people, taking no account of their right not to accept it or their right of peace of mind. Freedom! To spit in the eyes and souls of passersby with advertisements.

    "The Exile Returns" by David Remnick, www.newyorker.com. February 14, 1994.
  • To reject this inhuman Communist ideology is simply to be a human being. Such a rejection is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil.
