“Gentle and kindly creatures don’t put up much resistance and, though they may not reveal much of themselves, they have no idea of how to evade a conversation: they are sparing in their replies but they do reply, and the longer it goes on, the more you learn, but you have to keep at it, if that’s what you’re after.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, A Gentle Creature and Other Stories: White Nights; A Gentle Creature; The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

“Youth always tries to fill the void, an old man learns to live with it.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski
