“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

“Sorrow fills me, it always had a substantial appeal; even if does not exist, I will invent it. I will make time for it, even if I have none. It is what fills the vacancies of my mind. I walk with its supple benevolence in preponderance
against uneventfulness. It is my refuge from despair
sir!
You see!
It's better to be morose than be nothing at all.
You should taste its pernicious pleasures.
.
Happiness! you say, sir! Sir, that has nothing to do
with art or artist. Happy people live in their means.
They offer nothing to the world but inspire
despicable envy.”
― Teufel Damon
