Robert Louis Stevenson
“After all, I reflected, I was like my neighbours; and then I smiled, comparing myself with other men, comparing my active goodwill with the lazy cruelty of their neglect.”
Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Walter Mosley
“If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.”
Walter Mosley

Robert Louis Stevenson
“Under the strain of this continually impending doom and by the sleeplessness to which I now condemned myself, ay, even beyond what I had thought possible to man, I became, in my own person, a creature eaten up and emptied by fever, languidly weak both in body and mind, and solely occupied by one thought: the horror of my other self.”
Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson
“She had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent.”
Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead
