Of course I shall go astray often...for who does not make mistakes? But I cannot go far wrong for I have seen the truth.
Fyodor DostoevskyEvery man looks out for himself, and he has the happiest life who manages to hoodwink himself best of all.
Fyodor DostoevskyOccasionally I was so much better that I could go out; but the streets used to put me in such a rage that I would lock myself up for days rather than go out, even if I were well enough to do so! I could not bear to see all those preoccupied, anxious-looking creatures continuously surging along the streets past me! Why are they always anxious? What is the meaning of their eternal care and worry? It is their wickedness, their perpetual detestable malice-that's what it is-they are all full of malice, malice!
