Joseph Stalin — "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."

"The only way to get rid of a problem is to get rid of the people who have it."

"An honest journalist is a journalist who knows what he wants to say and says it, a dishonest journalist is one who knows what he wants to say and says something else."

"We are 50 or 100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in 10 years. Either we do it, or they will crush us."

"We don’t need to be afraid of a little blood. It’s a good sign when the masses are ready to shed their blood for the revolution."

"Every person must have his own opinion, but he must also be prepared to change it when the Party demands it."
