Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was a marvelous night, the sort of night one only experiences when one is young. The sky was so bright, and there were so many stars that, gazing upward, one couldn't help wondering how so many whimsical, wicked people could live under such a sky.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
They were like two enemies in love with one another.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is living.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
