"They have succeeded in accumulating a greater..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“I don’t understand anything...and I no longer want to understand anything. I want to stick to the fact...If I wanted to understand something, I would immediately have to betray the fact, but I’ve made up my mind to stick to the fact.”

“But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that if you have the guillotine in the forefront, and with such glee, it's for the sole reason that cutting heads off is the easiest thing, and having an idea is difficult!”

“There were moments when I hated everybody I came across, innocent or guilty, and looked at them as thieves who were robbing me of my life with impunity. The most unbearable misfortune is when you yourself become unjust, malignant, vile; you realize it, you even reproach yourself - but you just can't help it.”

“Poor? What does that matter? When poverty creeps in at the door, love flies in through the window.”

“I would rather sit in a factory than sit in a Maybach.”

“What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.”

“To be happy - that's all that matters.”

“Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.”

“Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.”
