Quote by Федор Сологуб

“Варвары не было дома. Клавдия мыла полы в горницах. Передонов вошёл в кухню вымыть руки. На столе увидел он свёрток синей бумаги, и из него высыпались несколько изюминок. Это был фунт изюма, купленый для булки к чаю, - её пекли дома. Передонов принялся есть изюм, как он был, немытый и нечищенный, и съел весь фунт быстро и жадно, стоя у стола, озираясь на дверь, чтобы Клавдия не вошла невзначай. Потом он тщательно свернул толстую синюю обёртку, под сюртуком вынес её в переднюю, и там положил в карман пальто, чтобы на улице выбросить и таким способом уничтожить следы.”

“Ideas begin their life as small seeds, so light they may drift through the air like dust motes. If a human is fortunate enough to catch one, when the light is right, it can be planted, just like a seed. With fertile soil, it may grow into a flower or tree, which will re-seed, thus producing a whole field or forest.”

“Hate cannot live alone. It It must have love as a trigger, a goad, or a stimulant. Joe early developed a gentle protective love for Joe. He comforted and flattered and cherished Joe. He set up walls to save Joe from a hostile world. And Joe gradually became proof against wrong. If Joe got into trouble, it was because the world was in angry conspiracy against him. And if Joe attacked the world, it was revenge and they damn well deserved it - the sons of bitches. Joe lavished every care on his love, and he perfected a lonely set of rules which might have gone like this: 1. Don't believe nobody. The bastards are after you. 2. Keep your mouth shut. Don't keep your neck out. 3. Keep your ears open. When they make a slip, grab on to it and wait. 4. Everybody's a son of a bitch and whatever you do they got it coming.”
