“I exist.’ In thousands of agonies — I exist. I’m tormented on the rack — but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar — I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“What fire does not destroy, it hardens.”
― Oscar Wilde Centre, The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

“But why don't you take him with you into the light?
He does not deserve the light, he deserves peace”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
