Fyodor Dostoevsky
“When I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I’m even pleased that I’m falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful. And so in that very shame I suddenly begin a hymn.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“هكذا بهذه الأسئلة إنما كان راسكولنيكوف يعذب نفسه، فكان الإهتياج الذي يحسه من ذلك يستحيل إلى نوع من التلذذ. على ان هذه الأسئلة ليس فيها شيء غير متوقع. إنها غير جديدة عليه، بل هي قديمة جدا. وهي تعذبه منذ زمن طويل. نعم لقد كانت هذه الأسئلة تعذبه وترهقه وتمزق قلبه منذ زمن طويل. لقد كان هذا القلق يشب في نفسه وينمو ويتراكم منذ زمن طويل.. ونضج هذا القلق في الآونة الأخيرة، وتركز وتكثف، فإذا هو يتخذ صورة سؤال رهيب، سؤال وحشي عجيب مسعور، يضني قلبه وفكره، ويطلب جوابا لا سبيل إلى تحاشيه.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, الجريمة والعقاب 1

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Indeed, people speak sometimes about the ‘animal’ cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to animals, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Yet as the evening of Sunday came on, a sadness as of death would overtake me, for at nine o'clock I had to return to school, where everything was cold and strange and severe—where the governesses, on Mondays, lost their tempers, and nipped my ears, and made me cry.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Poor Folk

Fernando Pessoa
“I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
