| Quotation | Read Brecht "Private Life of the Master Rac" under the pine trees the other day. Because it is good, one can see how it would be not thoroughly acceptable to the Party-the good things precisely would make it unacceptable! Which? Well, one obviously thinks of the same things which he condemned in Nazism flourishing in Communism. It is a good medium. |
