Original text (Russian)
The clock of doom had struck as fated;
the poet, without a sound,
let fall his pistol on the ground.
The illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths.
Always contented with his life,
and with his dinner, and his wife.
All Aleksandr Pushkin quotes →
The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.
