Fyodor Dostoevsky
“mankind can still continue to live without the Englishman, can continue without Germany, can continue all too well without the Russian, can continue without science, can continue without bread — it is only without beauty that we cannot continue, for there will be nothing at all to do in the world! That’s where the whole secret lies, that’s where the whole of history lies! Science itself would not last a minute without beauty —”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

“And I cry because everything is so beautiful and so short.”
Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The enthusiasm of today’s youth is as pure and bright as it was in our time. Only one thing has happened: a shift of goals, the replacement of one beauty with another! The entire misunderstanding lies merely in the question of which is more beautiful: Shakespeare or a pair of boots, Raphael or petroleum?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

Mikhail Bulgakov
“One can find time for everything if one is never in a hurry.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, Heart of a Dog

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Orice poate fi discutabil pana la infinit, dar din mine nu a razbit decat negarea, fara niciun fel de generozitate si fara niciun fel de forta. Asadar, nici macar o negare adevarata n-am fost in stare sa intruchipez. Totul si intotdeauna n-a fost decat meschin si fara vlaga. Supragenerosul Kirillov n-a suportat ideea si s-a impuscat; dar eu imi dau seama ca a fost atat de generos pentru ca nu era in toate mintile. Eu nu sunt capabil sa-mi pierd ratiunea vreodata si nu sunt in stare sa cred vreodata intr-o idee, in masura in care a crezut el. Nici chiar sa ma preocupe o idee in aceeasi masura nu sunt in stare. Niciodata, niciodata nu voi fi capabil sa ma impusc. Imi dau seama ca ar trebui sa ma omor, sa ma inlatur de pe suprafata pamantului ca pe o ganganie respingatoare, dar ma tem de sinucidere, pentru ca mi-e frica sa arat marime sufleteasca. Stiu ca va fi inca o inselaciune, ultima inselaciune intr-un sir nesfarsit de inselaciuni. Ce folos sa te inseli pe tine insuti, numai pentru a face pe generosul? Nu sunt capabil de indignare sau rusine si, prin urmare, nici de disperare.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons
