"And so in that very shame I..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“In a way there's only a fine shade of difference between the healthy and the deranged.”

“... active love is a harsh and fearful thing compared with the love in dreams. Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go as far as the giving even of one's life, provided it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and eveyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and persistence, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science.”

“There is no virtue if there is no immortality.”

“There are few people who would not be ashamed of being loved when they love no longer.”

“I will go wash; And when my face is fair, you shall perceive Whether I blush or no.”

“Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.”

“Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad.”

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

“Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.”
