The soul is healed by being with children. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"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."

"It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half."

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

"The soul is healed by being with children."
