"P. C. Hodgell said: "That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." "
That sounds very much like a quote from a Russian anarchist which was I think mentioned in one of Turgenev's books, possibly "Fathers and Sons". Here we go:
"Anything that can be broken, should be broken." ~Dmitri Pisarev
Solomon says: nothing new under the sun.
Isn't "by the truth" an extremely important qualifier?! I'm really curious how the two quotes are the same.
