“… We turned our backs upon the Spirit and embrace all that is
material with excessive and unwarranted zeal. This new way of thinking,
which has imposed upon us its guidance, did not admit the existence of
intrinsic evil in man nor did it see any higher task than the attainment
of happiness on earth. It based modern Western civilization on the
dangerous trend to worship man and his material needs… Merely freedom
does not in the least solve all the problems of human life and it even
adds a number of new ones.”
Solzhenitsyn
