Brother, I’m not depressed and haven’t lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter – this is what life is, herein lies its task.

I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus.

A widow, the mother of a family, and from her heart she produces chords to which my whole being responds.

One man doesn't believe in god at all, while the other believes in him so thoroughly that he prays as he murders men!
