| Quotation | FROM [VLADIMIR SERGEYEVICH] SOLOVIEV "The moral limit to the egoism of a given person is not the egoism of others, not their self-meriting will but only that which in itself cannot be exclusive and egotistic. That which in its nature is truth-love and self-sacrifice in their relation to men are possible only when they manifest the unconditional principle which stands above men; the principle in relation to which all equally represent an untruth, and all equally must recant that untruth." Lecture 1 on Godmanhood. |
