You are a man still young, so to say, in your first youth and so put intellect above everything.
Fyodor DostoevskyIn a way there's only a fine shade of difference between the healthy and the deranged.
Fyodor DostoevskyI tell Thee that man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creatures is born. But only one who can appease their conscience can take over their freedom […] Instead of taking men's freedom from them, Thou didst make it greater than ever! Didst Thou forget that man prefers peace, and even death, to freedom of choice in the knowledge of good and evil?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
