The entire quote from which my tagline is a snippet:
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
Thanks for sharing that great quote. Agree 100%. A couple of Sozhenitsyn books are on my long list of books to read that I may never get to in my lifetime. Snippets of his wisdom like this are a small consolation prize.
