- "Die, but do not retreat."
- "Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs."
- "Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed."
- "History shows that there are no invincible armies and that there never have been."
- "The only real power comes out of a long rifle."
- "Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Men of our army and navy!"
- "The writer is the engineer of the human soul. "
By Other People :
- "He had found Russia working with wooden ploughs and leaving it equipped with atomic piles. "
-Isaac Deutscher, penulis - "Every crime was possible to Stalin, for there was not one he had not committed. Whatever standards we use to take his measure, in any event — let us hope for all time to come — to him will fall the glory of being the greatest criminal in history. For in him were joined the senselessness of a Caligula with the refinement of a Borgia and the brutality of a Tsar Ivan the Terrible. "
-Milovan Dilas, politikus - "I consider that willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty"
-George Orwell, penulis
