Thirst For Life Quotes

“Spring was at hand. " I believe I might
recover," I thought, "if I could get out of this shell into the light of day, into the fields and woods." It was so long
since I had seen them. I remember, too, it came into my mind how nice it would be if by some magic, some
enchantment, I could forget everything that had happened in the last few years; forget everything, refresh my
mind, and begin again with new energy. In those days, I still dreamed of that and hoped for a renewal of life.
"Better go into an asylum," I thought, "to get one's brain turned upside down and rearranged anew, and then be
cured again.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Insulted and Humiliated
