I have a random-quote feature on my blog. Most people who have been to my site have probably never noticed it. I don’t add to the quotation database often, I rarely think of it, and I don’t remember everything I’ve added. So, every once in a while, I see a quote on my own blog that hits me in a hard way, like this one:
There is a word in Russian that refers to refugees and people who run: bezhentsy. This applies to people who are running from the bullets, from the bombs, in this war. There are some Russians — dancers and maybe athletes — who run more gracefully than others. In my very small way, I am trying to support them. In the end, we all run from somebody.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
