Decades have passed, and many of us remain grateful to Nikolai Ostrovsky for his personal example of perseverance and for his unique aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning. The point is not even that they corresponded to that heroic era. No, similar thoughts were also heard in the statements of philosophers and historical figures ancient world, and at other times. He just set the highest bar, which is not achievable for everyone.
