Kasyan from the Beautiful Lands Quotes

“Strange things happen on this earth: you can live a long while with someone and be on the friendliest of terms, and yet you'll never once talk openly with him, from the depths of your soul; while with someone else you may scarcely have met, at one glance, whether you to him or he to you, just as in a confessional, you'll blurt out the story of your life.”
― Ivan Turgenev, Kasyan from the Beautiful Lands

“Death doesn't come running, but you can't run away from it, neither; nor must you be helping it along.”
― Ivan Turgenev, Kasyan from the Beautiful Lands
