Journey into the Whirlwind

 Eugenia Ginzburg
 

Important Quotations Explained

 
1. Don't you know he's been arrested? Can you imagine anyone's being arrested unless there's something definite against him?
 
 
2. There are no more fervent friendships than those made in prison.
 
 
3. As I lay awake on my plank bed, the most unorthodox thoughts passed through my mind—about how thin the line is between high principles and blinkered intolerance, and also how relative are all human systems and ideologies and how absolute the tortures which human beings inflict on one another.
 
 
4. I intended to survive. Just to spite them.
 
 
5. It's penal servitude—what bliss!
