It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound to be a coward and a slave
Fyodor DostoevskyAbove all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
Fyodor DostoevskyHe who desires to see the living God face-to-face should not seek him in the empty, firmament of his mind, but in human love.
