Accepting Quote by Maxim Gorky

“If it is true that only misfortune can awaken a man's soul, it is a bitter truth, one that is hard to hear and accept, and it is only natural that many people deny it and say it is better for a man to live on in a trance than to wake up to torture.” quote by Maxim Gorky — Download Open image
