Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Eshte e mire letersia, Varenjka, shume e mire eshte. U binda diten e trete te vizitave. Gje me peshe. Ua forcon zemren njerezve, u meson si te jetojne. C'nuk thuhet ne ato shkrime.”

“The darkness was not gone forever. Likely enough it would take days, weeks, perhaps even months or years to fully be freed. Probably it would always be near; probably she would always be vulnerable to its attack. Yet the Eternal who lit her darkness in one way could also in another. He could sustain her in every aspect. He would always be there, ready and able to help. Ever loving.”

“Hasan Pasha also gave the green light for Turks and Greeks to take whatever action they pleased against any Albanians they found: killing them was not a crime.
