“I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbor.But there's always something to envy.A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate.In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor.Rich in gifts, poor in gifts.Rich in love, poor in love.”
