The person must be ready by the cross that he shouldered. I am very sure the mother said: beware of those for whom power is a dream. But go beyond those for whom power is the cross.

In Russia, the compassion is sometimes stronger than the law. That quote I put in the epilogue of my paintings "the Twelve". Of course compassion in Russia has sometimes greater power than the law.
