Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Ili mu se od samoće razvila ta krajnja osjetljivost, ogoljelost i nezaštićenost osjećaja; ili se u zamornoj, zagušljivoj, beskrajnoj gluhoći dugih, besanih noći, među nesvjesnim težnjama i nestrpljivim potresima duha pripravlja ta prenapetost srca, spremna, najzad, da prsne ili da nađe kuda će se izliti; ili je, naprosto, nastalo iznenada vrijeme tomu svečanomu času, i to mu je lako moralo da bude, kao što iznenada za zaparna, zagušljiva dana pocrni odjednom cijelo nebo, bura se daždem i ognjem izlijeva na izgladnjelu zemlju, daždevim se biserjem vješa o smaragdove grane, gazi travu, polja, sabija u zemlju nježne cvjetne čaške, da onda, od prvih sunčanih zraka, opet sve oživi, uperi se i digne se u susret suncu, te mu svečano, do neba, pošalje svoj raskošni, slatki tamjan, veseleći se i radujući se svome obnovljenomu životu ...”
Dostoevskiy F.M., Бедные люди

Zeon Vale
“Life's Unscripted Path
Life doesn't follow a predictable script.
It doesn't ask your permission to shake you to the core—
and rarely whispers the reason why.”
Zeon Vale, The Call of the North – 42 Weeks and One Day
