When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Oh I've plenty of time, my time is entirely my own.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
One could never judge a man without seeing him close, for oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky
