Fyodor Dostoevsky
I have in my own life merely carried to the extreme that which you have never ventured to carry even halfway and what's more, you've regarded your cowardice as prudence, and found comfort in deceiving yourselves. So that, in fact, I may be even more alive than you are. Do take a closer look!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
