The Prophet Armed by Isaac Deutscher
When I first contemplated the writing of a biographical trilogy on the leaders of the Russian revolution I intended to include a study of Trotsky in Exile, not a full-scale biography of Trotsky.—v
He quickly saw which of them were mainly concerned with religious dogma mainly and which were more preoccupied with the political implications of their opposition to Greek Orthodoxy.–31
His idea of the centralized party included a close interest in the living people who were fighting the party's battles on the spot, an interest characteristic of the true leader of men.—59
Their resentment still simmered; but in the subsequent crises of the civil war the need for discipline, centralization, and expert military leadership was generally accepted as a matter of course.—432

The Prophet Unarmed by Isaac Deutscher
Nor as the lie grew could its expounders stand face to face or side by side with the genuine leaders of the Russian Revolution to whom the revolution's message was and remained indivisible.—3

(The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen)
She had never cared for The Death of the Heart, or its success; she preferred her fans to find whatever was her latest book her most intriguing, challenging, unexpected.—133
