    This is the first I've ever heard of the principle: excellent stuff.

      I first heard the idea in a video where Thiel used the quote. I think it was a YC Dtartup School video on YouTube.

      Here the quote for the principle hewed closer to the subject than ordinarily. Tolstoy’s “cheery white crosses” probably deserves its own principle too.

        Maybe it's time for me to reread the book.

          For me, it will remain a book I can talk about not one I’ve read. Solzhenitsyn is the extent of my Russian literature.
