Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A dream! What is a dream? And is not our life a dream?

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The consciousness of life is higher than life, the knowledge of the laws of happiness is higher than happiness - that is what one must contend against. And I shall. If only everyone wants it, it can be arranged at once.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The question I should like to put to them is, in a nutshell, this: "Do you despise or do you respect mankind, you - its future saviours?"

To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred.
