A Tomb for Boris Davidovich

“I wish to live in peace with myself and not with the world.”

''And these books were bound in leather and marked with numbers and were written by learned men, and in them were, that they wanted to read them, thousands of reasons to kill me at once, and there were in them, that they wanted to read them, a cure and balm for their hatred. . And I told them not to tear them apart, because many books are not dangerous, only one is dangerous; and I told them not to tear them apart, for reading many books leads to wisdom, and reading a single one leads to ignorance armed with madness and hatred. ”
