....a person's true security consists not in his own persinal, solitary effort, but in the common integrity of mankind.
Fyodor DostoevskyAlthough Pulcheria Alexandrovna was forty-three, she still showed traces of her former beauty and seemed much younger than her years. This is generally true of women who remain serene in spirit, fresh in their impressions, and spontaneously warmhearted right to the edge of old age. One might add that in this way, and only in this way, they retain their beauty in old age too.
Fyodor DostoevskyWithout a clear perception of his reasons for living, man will never consent to live, and will rather destroy himself than tarry on earth, though he be surrounded with bread".
Fyodor DostoevskyА Лиза, только что удалился Алёша, тотчас же отвернула щеколду, приотворила капельку дверь, вложила в щель свой палец и, захлопнув дверь, изо всей силы придавила его. Секунд через десять, высвободив руку, она тихо, медленно прошла на своё кресло, села, вся выпрямившись, и стала пристально смотреть на свой почерневший пальчик и на выдавившуюся из-под ногтя кровь. Губы её дрожали, и она быстро, быстро шептала про себя:
- Подлая, подлая, подлая, подлая!
آری, انسان زندگانی دشواری دارد. من تصور می کنم بهترین تعریفی که می توان ز انسان کرد این است:"انسان عبارتست از موجودی که به همه چیز عادت می کند.

You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children.
Fyodor DostoevskyAnd so these refined parents rejected their five-year-old girl to all kinds of torture. They beat her, kicked her, flogged her, for no reason that they themselves knew of. The child’s whole body was covered in bruises. Eventually they devised a new refinement. Under the pretext that the child dirtied her bed (as though a five-year-old deep in her angelic sleep could be punished for that), they forced her to eat excrement, smearing it all over her face. And it was the mother that did it! And that woman would lock her daughter up in the outhouse until morning and she did so even on the coldest nights, when it was freezing. Just imagine the woman being able to sleep with the child’s cries coming from that outhouse! Imagine that little creature, unable to even understand what is happening to her, beating her sore little chest with her tiny fist, weeping hot, unresentful, meek tears, and begging ‘gentle Jesus’ to help her…
...let’s assume that you were called upon to build the edifice of human destiny so that men would finally be happy and would find peace and tranquility. If you knew that, only to attain this, you would have to torture just one single creature, let’s say the little girl who beat her chest so desperately in the outhouse, and that on her unavenged tears you could build that edifice, would you agree to do it?
