A Quote by Jakob Dylan

Now that we are used to globalisation it's hard to imagine a time when the countries behind the iron curtain were largely obscured from the western gaze. The Soviet bloc was a genuine mystery.

Faith is the substance of hope - of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
