Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

“It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen
