“You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled by Koroviev. Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied.

“here she is, all mine, trying her best to give me all she can. How could I ever hurt her? But I didn’t understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.”

“But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if
evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows

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.”
