“On your deathbed, you will be alone. Even if people are around, you will think of things you could have done right. To avoid this misery at such an important hour of life, make sure you respect your time and make it count. One tick on the clock after another.”

“On your eyelids crown the god of sleep, Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness, Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep As is the difference betwixt day and night The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team Begins his golden progress in the east.”

“On your principles, you should never yield; you should be prepared to be defeated. Nobody likes to be defeated, but you should let everybody know in the most articulate and thoughtful and civil way you can (you don't go out and pick fights with people) that in certain matters that you define as matters of principle you will not budge, you cannot yield, you will not compromise. If you don't have the votes or the winning argument, then you stand to be defeated and rolled over, and you'll just have to come back another day.”

“On, those ever-changing moods of Moscow! How swiftly they go from black to white, from one extreme to another, from friendship to accusations, from adoration to hatred, from the permissive 'da' to that annihilating 'nyet.' Those eternal swings from a thaw to a freeze, whims that disregard their own rules, norms, and regulations!”

“Ona dokunmasınlar bütün olana bitene razıydım. Artık gece çok geç ya da sabah tam gün doğarken gidiyordum görmeye. En sakin saatlerde. Bazen dalıp gidiyordum gözlerine, yüreğim kabarıyordu. Ben anlatıyordum içimden, o dinlermiş gibi durup esniyordu. Bir sabah bütün cesaretimi topladım. Ben, dedim, seni, ama bak ne olur... Tabii, taştan yapıldığını bilmez olur muyum? Ben de farkındayım olanaksızlığımızın. Yazgımızın bir adım yaklaşamadan durduğumuz yerde durmak olduğunun bilincindeyim elbet. Sen kaidende, ben kaidemde... Sen sakin, sessiz, soğuk, dingin, huzurlu; ben alabildiğine tutkulu, öfkeli, huzursuz, tedirgin. Sen kendinde mutlusun, bense kendimin ötesine, ta ötesine uzanmak istiyorum. Sen doyumun resmisin, ben doyumsuzluğun.”

“Ona ništa ne radi, i sasvim je zadovoljna." Ljevin je to u duši osuđivao; a još nije poimao da se ona baš sprema za period rada koji za nju mora nastupiti, kada će istovremeno biti i žena svoga muža, i domaćica u kući, i kada će nositi, hraniti i vaspitavati decu. On nije poimao da ona to zna čulom, i spremajući se za taj strašni posao ne ukorava sebe za trenutke bezbrižnosti i ljubavne sreće kojima se sada veselo koristi dok svija svoje buduće gnezdo.”

“Ona się tylko tego obawiała, że poślubiwszy człowieka, co nie miał obycia towarzyskiego ani wyższego wykształcenia, będzie się czuła upośledzona wobec swojego dawnego, wyższego świata. Tymczasem sto razy bardziej upośledzona czuła się tu, gdzie nie umiała tego, co wszyscy umieli. Jakże była słaba i niedołężna wobec tych wszystkich skrzętnych, zapobiegliwych gospodyń!”

“Once (says an Author; where I need not say) Two Trav'lers found an Oyster in their way; Both fierce, both hungry; the dispute grew stong; While Scale in Hand Dame Justice pass'd along Before her each with clamour pleads the Laws. Explain'd the matter, and would win the cause, Dame Justice wighing long the doubtful Right Takes, opens, swallows it, before their sight. The cause of strife remov'd so rarely well, "There take" (says Justice), "take ye each a shell. We thrive at Westminster on Fools like you: 'Twas a fat oyster - live in peace - Adieu."”

“Once [a soul] is condemned by God, then God's friends agree in God's judgment and condemnation. For all eternity they will not have a kind thought for this wretch. Rather they will be satisfied to see him in the flames as a victim of God's justice. ("The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge . . ." Psalm 57:11) They will abhor him. A mother will look from paradise upon her own condemned son without being moved, as though she had never known him.”
