“Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it.

Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because
of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You're stupid.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
