Ivan Turgenev
“There was nothing ugly in the small, unprepossessing figure of this emancipated woman, but the expression on her face made a bad impression on the viewer. One felt inclined to ask: "What's the matter? Are you hungry? Bored? Afraid? Why so tense?" Just like Sitnikov, she was always anxious. She spoke and moved in a rather casual, though awkward,manner: she obviously considered herself a good-natured, simple creature; at the same time, no matter what she did, it always seemed that she didn't want to be doing that. Everything she did appeared to be done on purpose, as children say, that is, neither simply nor naturally.”
Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons

William Shakespeare
“such wanton, wild, and usual slips/ As are companions noted and most known/ To youth and liberty.”
William Shakespeare

Peter A. Levine
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
Peter A. Levine

Mark Twain
“After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him; because I don't take no stock in dead people.”
Mark Twain
