"Deprived of meaningful work, men and women..." - Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.”

“Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.”

“With love one can live even without happiness.”

“Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.”

“Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.”

“When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, make this short speech to yourself: I am getting up now to do the business of a man; and am I out of humour for going about that I was made for, and for the sake of which I was sent into the world? Was I then designed for nothing but to doze and keep warm beneath the counterpane? Well! but this is a comfortable way of living.”

“We recognize that there are no trivial occurrences in life if we get the right focus on them.”

“Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.”

“Oh to reach the point of death and realize one has not lived at all.”
