par omleti
"The metaphor was born of blood and has steeped in it ever since. In fact, it is often mistakenly attributed to Joseph Stalin, one of the most prolific mass murderers of the 20th century, as evidence of the callous rationalization of self-deluded dictators. The truth, it turns out, is not far from the fiction, which can be traced back to a 1932 Time Magazine article, in which Stalin's "Right-Hand-Man-Of-The-Moment," Comrade Lazar Kaganovitch, was quoted as saying, "Why wail over broken eggs when we are trying to make an omelette!""
