It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life... - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"To love someone means to see them as God intended them."

"We are all happy if we but knew it."

"It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt."

"Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being."

"originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle."
