Ivan Turgenev
Circumstances define us they force us onto one road or another, and then they punish us for it.
Ivan Turgenev
I agree with no one's opinion. I have some of my own.
Ivan Turgenev
Only one thing bothered me: at this very moment, as they say, of inexplicable bliss there would be a sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach and my abdomen would be assailed by a melancholy, cold shivering. In the end I couldn't abide such happiness and ran away.
Ivan Turgenev
