"Suddenly, she would say to him, 'Take me, I'm yours forever.' And it would all be at an end. He would grab her and carry her off to the end of the world at once, oh at once would he carry her off as far as far as possible, if not to the end of the world than somewhere at the end of Russia. Marry her, and settle down with her incognito so that nobody should ever learn of them here, there, or anywhere else."

"She hasn't taken the knife, that was only a pathetic remark. Pathetic remarks must be forgiven, that's certain. Pathetic remarks give comfort to the soul, without them people would find their grief too hard to bear."

"I'm wild, Alyosha, I'm savage. If I tear off my finery, I shall mutilate myself in my beauty, I shall burn my face and lay open with a knife. I shall go on beg for arms. If I don't feel like it I shall not go anywhere now or see anyone too."

"'Alyosha, let me sit on your knee like this.' And suddenly, within the space of an instant, she leapt up and jumped, laughing, onto his knee like a small, affectionate she-cat, tenderly seizing him around the neck with her right arm. 'I'll cheer you up, my devout little boy. No, seriously, is it really alright if I sit on your knees like this? You won't get angry? If you tell me to I shall jump off.'"

"Aha! So that's the way we are. We started to raise our voice just like other mortals, and from one that used to be an angel too. Well my dear Alyosha, you've astonished me, do you know that? I speak in all sincerity, it's a long time since anything astonished me in this place."

"Do not doubt in the power of the heavenly light. Have faith, that even if they have not been saved now, they shall be saved hereafter, and if they are not saved even hereafter, then their sons will be saved, for your light shall not die, though you are now dead. The righteous man shall depart, but his light remains."

"And indeed the roots of our thoughts and emotions are not here, but in other worlds. That is why the philosophers say that it is impossible to grasp the essence of things on earth. God took seeds from other worlds and sowed them upon this earth and cultivated his garden."

"Love young children, especially. For they are also sinless as angels, and live in order to affect us with tender emotion, to purify our hearts, and as a certain indication to us."
