― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
