“If only you would go to the university," he said. "Only enlightened and holy people are interesting, it's only they who are wanted. The more of such people there are, the sooner the Kingdom of God will come on earth. Of your town then not one stone will be left, everything will he blown up from the foundations, everything will be changed as though by magic. And then there will be immense, magnificent houses here, wonderful gardens, marvellous fountains, remarkable people.... But that's not what matters most. What matters most is that the crowd, in our sense of the word, in the sense in which it exists now -- that evil will not exist then, because every man will believe and every man will know what he is living for and no one will seek moral support in the crowd.

“شخصیت کالا نیست که در بازار تهیه شود، شخصیت، به قیمت خون دل و عمر انسان بدست می آید. شخصیت، رهایی از عمومیت، و رسیدن به فردیت در عین زندگی در اجتماع است. کلمه را که نگاه کنی، ازریشه ی "شخص" می آید. برای همین، شخصیت، آن چیزی نیست که دیگران برای تو تعیین کنند، آن چیزیست که تو به بهای زندگیت بدست آورده ای.”

I suppose you'll laugh at this, me saying the governor's a stupid bastard when I know hardly how to write and he can read and write and add-up like a professor. But what I say is true right enough. He's stupid, and I'm not, because I can see further into the likes of him than he can see into the likes of me.”

“If there is one thing I have come to believe over the years, it’s the notion that there really is somebody for everybody. Every single person is going to look at beauty from a different angle. Every single person is going to be attracted to certain features and characteristics that are completely different than the next person. And… there isn’t a person on earth that everybody on earth finds attractive.”
