| bf46b7a | All I have to do is say the word and no record label will ever touch Bad Luck. You'll be out of business faster than the fat one from N'Sync. | Maki Murakami | ||
| 7828431 | Ingrates!" says the garment, "I protected you in inclement weather. Why will you have nothing to do with me?" "I have just come from the deep sea," says the fish. "I have been a rose," says the perfume. "I have loved you," says the corpse. "I have civilized you," says the convent. To this there is but one reply: "In former days." | Victor Hugo | ||
| 6660f4f | Mathematics is not a careful march down a well cleared highway, but a journey into a strange wilderness, where the explorers often get lost. | Amir D. Aczel | ||
| ed6d251 | In so many ways, the same impulse to know the world and our place in it is at the roots of both science and spirituality. Both are attempts to illuminate the mysteries of our world and expand our vision of the greater whole. By charting the history of science, I hope these pages have shown how vital and awesome real science is. Throughout history, scientific discovery has brought us closer to the wonders of life and the universe--and immeas.. | Amir D. Aczel | ||
| aebdb7c | It combined corrupt simplicity with delicate ferocity, a curious variety of civilization; a tiger with a simper. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 9ef5b45 | You are very beautiful, Aglaya Ivanovna, so beautiful that one is afraid to look at you. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 739d112 | Our understanding of love has been hijacked and beguiled by its first distractingly moving moments. We have allowed our love stories to end way too early. We seem to know far too much about how love starts, and recklessly little about how it might continue. | Alain de Botton | ||
| f0b9dab | people speak sometimes about the 'animal' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to animals, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| c554437 | Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| d4fe732 | But then, we have science, and with its help we shall discover Truth once more; then we shall accept it in full knowledge. Knowledge is of a higher order than feeling; awareness of life is of a higher order than life. Science will give us wisdom, wisdom will reveal to us the laws of nature, and knowledge of the laws of nature will confer upon us a happiness beyond happiness. | life nature science | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 7e90ca6 | I understand, of course, what an upheaval of the universe it will be when everything in heaven and earth blends in one hymn of praise and everything that lives and has lived cries aloud: 'Thou art just, O Lord, for Thy ways are revealed.' When the mother embraces the fiend who threw her child to the dogs, and all three cry aloud with tears, 'Thou art just, O Lord!' then, of course, the crown of knowledge will be reached and all will be made.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5d7e352 | Bu devir, siradan insanin en parlak zamani; duygusuzlugun, bilgisizligin, tembelligin, yeteneksizligin, hazira konmak isteyen bir kusagin devridir. Kimse bir seyin uzerinde durup dusunmuyor. Kendisine bir ulku edinen cok az. Umutlu birisi cikip iki agac dikse herkes guluyor: "Yahu bu agac buyuyunceye kadar yasayacak misin sen?" Ote yanda iyilik isteyenler, insanligin bin yil sonraki gelecegini kendilerine dert ediniyorlar. Insanlari birbiri.. | dostoyevski | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

Bu cesit insanlarin hayal kirikligina, hele sebebin kendileri oldugunu bilerek ugramalari pek aci olur. Ne diye kendilerine verilebilecekten fazlasini umarlar sanki?

"I hired him for the evening, I'm sort of...within my rights nows...so there! I hired him for the evening, and that's the end of the matter. Even if he just stands there, it's all the same. It's as I will. I'm free to go, and free not to go. And that I'm now standing behind the woodpile--that, too, is quite all right...and don't y.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e17f8d2 | Des Grieux was like all Frenchmen, that is, cheerful and amiable when it was necessary and profitable, and insufferably dull when the necessity to be cheerful and amiable ceased. A Frenchman is rarely amiable by nature; he is always amiable as if on command, out of calculation. If, for instance, he sees the necessity of being fantastic, original, out of the ordinary, then his fantasy, being most stupid and unnatural, assembles itself out of.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 19b233d | it's as if I'm afraid to spoil the charm of what has only just passed by a serious book or some serious occupation. As if this ugly dream and all the impressions it left behind are so dear to me that I'm even afraid to touch it with something new, lest it vanish in smoke! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 4b42d4a | Dumnezeu nu exista, dar e prezent. In piatra nu exista suferinta, dar in frica de piatra suferinta exista. Dumnezeu este suferinta fricii de moarte. Cine va invinge suferinta si frica va deveni el insusi Dumnezeu. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5240c1f | Here I, for instance, quite naturally want to live, in order to satisfy all my capacities for life, and not simply my capacity for reasoning, that is, not simply one twentieth of my capacity for life. What does reason know? Reason only knows what it has succeeded in learning (some things, perhaps, it will never learn; this is a poor comfort, but why not say so frankly?) and human nature acts as a whole, with everything that is in it, consci.. | human-nature reason wholeness | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| ac2d82e | But I'm still curious to know: can you move a mountain or not?' 'If God commands it, I will move it,' Tikhon pronounced with quiet restraint, again beginning to lower his eyes. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5b35b74 | One can love one's neighbours in the abstract, or even at a distance, but at close quarters it's almost impossible. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 72b7d09 | Never before had she seen such writers. They were impossibly vain, but quite openly so, as if thereby fulfilling a duty. Some (though by no means all) even came drunk, but it was as if they perceived som special, just-yesterday-discovered beauty in it. They were all proud of something to the point of strangeness. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 161a4f8 | Ha! ha! ha! But after all, if you like, in reality there is not such thing as choice," you will interrupt with a laugh. "Science has even now succeeded in analysing man to such an extent that we know already that choice and what is called freedom of will are nothing other than--" Wait, gentlemen, I meant to begin with that myself. I admit I was even frightened. I was just going to shout that after all the devil only knows what choice depend.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5da88cc | I believe that nothing is more beautiful, profound, sympathetic, reasonable, brave, and perfect than Christ. With jealous love, I say to myself, not only that his equal cannot be found, but that it does not exist. And more, if someone should bring me proof that Christ is outside the truth, then I should prefer to remain with Christ than with the truth.

| 710f703 | But now, all of a sudden, there appeared before me the absurd, loathsomely spiderish notion of debauchery, which, without love, crudely and shamelessly begins straight off with that which is the crown of true love. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3261de8 | I speak as a judge and I know that I was guilty. Even in the whirl in which I was caught up, and though I was alone without a guide or counsellor, I was, I swear, conscious of my downfall, and so there's no excuse for me. And yet, for those two months I was almost happy -- why, almost? I was quite happy! And so happy -- would it be believed -- that the consciousness of my degradation, of which I had glimpses at moments (frequent moments!) a.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
