“Passions are merely ideas in their initial stage. They are the property of youth, and anyone who expects to feel their thrill throughout his life is a fool. Tranquil rivers often begin as roaring waterfalls, but no river leaps and foams all the way to the sea. Tranquility, however, is often a sign of great, if hidden, power. Intensity and depth of feeling and thought preclude wild outbursts of passion; in sorrow and joy the soul takes careful stock of every situation, and sees that so it must be.”
― Lermontov, Mikhail, Герой нашего времени

“You thought you were found but you realize that you were lost, and someday you may discover that you’re lost now.”

“Don't play with others, or at one day, you will be played by others.”
