Children Quote by Sergei Lukyanenko
““Do you have a truth of your own, Anton ? Tell me, do you? Are you certain of it? Then believe it, not in my truth, not in Geser's . Believe in it and fight for it. If you have enough courage. If the idea doesn't make you shudder. What's bad about Dark freedom is not just that it's freedom from others. That's another explanation for little children. Dark freedom is first and foremost freedom from yourself, from your own conscience and your own soul. The moment you can't feel any pain in your chest—call for help. Only by then it'll be too late””
