“What matters is that I'd love you so well, so well, Nastenka, that even if you still loved him and went on loving the man I don't know, my love would never be a burden to you. All you'd feel, all you'd be conscious of every minute, is that a very grateful heart was beating at your side, Nastenka, an ardent heart which for your sake--Oh Nastenka, Nastenka, what have you done to me?”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights
