"Discriptions of the way Theo thinks are both monotonous and suddenly bright.
The grief for his mother and the emptiness that arrived with her departure is palpable, consuming, always there. He seems to be alright one moment but it all comes crashing down when he sees reminders of her like the table in Elephant and Castle restaurant that they used to go to together. She was his world, his lost artistic mother.."

Ivan Turgenev
“We sit in the mud, my friend, and reach for the stars.”
Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons

Mikhail Lermontov
“In the first place, [his eyes] never laughed when he laughed. Have you ever noticed this peculiarity some people have? It is either the sign of an evil nature or of a profound and lasting sorrow.”
Lermontov a, Un Héros de notre temps. (précédé de) La Princesse Ligovskoï

Alexander Pushkin
“Не мысля гордый свет забавить,
Вниманье дружбы возлюбя,
Хотел бы я тебе представить
Залог достойнее тебя,
Достойнее души прекрасной,
Святой исполненной мечты,
Поэзии живой и ясной,
Высоких дум и простоты;
Но так и быть — рукой пристрастной
Прими собранье пестрых глав,
Полусмешных, полупечальных,
Простонародных, идеальных,
Небрежный плод моих забав,
Бессонниц, легких вдохновений,
Незрелых и увядших лет,
Ума холодных наблюдений
И сердца горестных замет.

Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin

Nikolai Gogol
“The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.”
Nikolai V. Gogol

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the PRIVACY of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.”
Dostoyevsky Fyodor
