Quote #4
I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. (165-166)
Reagan's belief that the end of communism is near comes from not only his personal hopes for the future of the world, but also from a staunch understanding of the power of the human spirit. He doesn't think that type of cruelty, of blatant government oppression, is sustainable in any way, shape or form, and that the power of morals, of good people doing good things, will always overcome the bad stuff—even if it takes a little while.
