(Adam Hochschild Quotes)
How many really great writers are there who are totally non-political? You can hear the French Revolution in the poetry of [Percy Bysshe] Shelly and [John] Wordsworth; you can sense the vast inequalities of Tsarist Russia in [Anton] Chekhov and [Lev] Tolstoy. (Adam Hochschild Quotes)
No international court can ever substitute for a working national justice system. Or for a society at piece (Adam Hochschild Quotes)
