It was the same with the whole Russian machine. Fear was the impulse. For them it was always safer to advance than retreat. Advance against the enemy and the bullet might miss you. Retreat, evade, betray and the bullet would never miss.More Yan Fleming quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards thier goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders - all maniacs.

Mania ... is as priceless as genius.More Yan Fleming quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
