Isnt Stalin awesome for quotes?

I like the one from "The Sound of Music" by the Baroness...I cant remember it now, cause its been so long. Something like...

"I wanted to take a trip around the world for our honeymood, then I thought - there must be some place better to go."

stalin was a man of quotes lol thats for sure.

"we will not fall back one more step, if we lose this war the russians will cease to be" ----josef stalin.

He was brilliant, but unarguably cruel and psychopathic.

As they say:

"Power corrupts - absolute power corrupts absoluetely." (from Animal Farm I believe)
