| a81300c | It's our turf," the younger woman barked. "Actually it's my turf." The thugs spun to me. "Let's see . . . You're hassling people in my territory, so you owe me a fee. A couple of fingers ought to do it. Do we have a volunteer?" The small thug pulled a bowie knife from a sheath on his waist. I kept coming. "That's a mistake." The thug crouched down. He clenched his knife, like he was drowning and it was a straw that would pull him out. A lit.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 596cfba | You could've found me. You could've demanded an explanation. Instead your bright idea to deal with this mess was not to talk to me. Do you get off having me chase after you like some sixteen-year-old?" "Twelve tops. Sixteen is giving you too much credit." He bit the air. "Look who's talking." | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 61b5a97 | It couldn't be real. People summoned monsters from the arcane realm, but I'd never heard of anyone summoning actual demons. Yet it was right there, living, breathing, real, and every instinct I had howled and clawed at my logic. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| efac4cf | I'm curious, what are you picturing exactly?" Augustine asked. "A crisscrossing pattern of red laser beams and ferrets in harnesses slithering through it like ninjas?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 51423c1 | Why can't you go if you're so concerned?" He sighed. "Because certain people aren't altogether rational at the moment. If I came with you, I'd have to answer uncomfortable questions. I ask questions, I don't answer them." "What kind of questions?" "Why were you in a vehicle with Kate, alone? What were you wearing? What was she wearing? How long were you there? Did you do something or did you talk? What was the nature of your discussion? Cou.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4950e27 | Let me see if I have this straight. You killed your children and piloted their undead bodies? "Yes. Does that shock you?" "No. You're a psychopath" "What does that mean?" I got up and brought her a dictionary. She read the definition. "That sums it up well." | Ilona Andrews | ||

But to him, she was only a fish. We live a long time and they don't. Don't make his crime bigger than it is." "I will kill him." Erra's eyebrows rose. "You'd have to go through me first." I shrugged. "I have to do something for a warm-up." She laughed softly. "That's t.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| c86a2f7 | And how many ideas there have been on earth in the history of man which were unthinkable ten years before they appeared! Yet when their destined hour had come, they came forth and spread over the whole earth. So it will be with us, and our people will shine forth in the world, and all men will say: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone of the building." -- | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 1f5fa3b | we here are unbelievers only out of carelessness, because we don't have time: first, we're too beset with business, and second, God gave us too little time, he only allotted twenty-four hours to a day, so that there isn't even time enough to sleep, let alone repent. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 697a662 | Everyone must look out for himself, and the best time is had by those who're best able to decieve themselves. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| efd10f6 | I seem to be afraid of any SERIOUS book--afraid of permitting any SERIOUS preoccupation to break the spell of the passing moment. So dear to me is the formless dream of which I have spoken, so dear to me are the impressions which it has left behind it, that I fear to touch the vision with anything new, lest it should dissolve in smoke. But | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 1d5bffc | Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed and never can be fathomed for God sets us nothing but riddles. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 018bc99 | Al mundo espiritual, la mitad superior del genero humano, se le rechaza alegremente, incluso con odio. Sobre todo en estos ultimos anos, el mundo ha proclamado la libertad. ?Pero que significa esta libertad? La esclavitud y el suicidio. Pues se dice: 'Tienes necesidades: satisfacelas. Posees los mismos derechos que los grandes y los ricos. No temas satisfacer tus necesidades. Incluso las puedes aumentar'. Estas son las ensenanzas que se dan.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| be068db | Meanwhile, genuine equality says: "What do I care if you are more talented than I, more clever, more handsome? I'm glad for it, rather, because I love you. But though I may be less important to you, I respect myself as a person; and you know this and respect me yourself, and I am happy with your respect. If you, through your abilities, can bring me and everyone else a hundredfold more benefit than I can bring you, then I bless you for it; I.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 9d9ecef | Alyosha exclaimed. "I think that everyone should love life before everything else in the world." "Love life more than its meaning?" "Certainly, love it before logic, as you say, certainly before logic, and only then will I also understand its meaning." | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 2eaacd1 | There have been and still are geometricians and philosophers, and even some of the most distinguished, who doubt whether the whole universe, or to speak more widely the whole of existence, was only created in Euclid's geometry; they even dare to dream that two parallel lines, which according to Euclid can never meet on earth, may meet somewhere in infinity. I have come to the conclusion that, since I can't understand even that, I can't expe.. | god the-limitedness-of-human-mind | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 04b481e | Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. Keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| a9313d6 | In every man, of course, a demon lies hidden--the demon of rage, the demon of lustful heat at the screams of the tortured victim, the demon of lawlessness let off the chain, the demon of diseases that follow on vice, gout, kidney disease, and so on. "This" | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 080b5e9 | Oh, he understood very well that for the meek soul of a simple Russian, exhausted by grief and hardship and, above all, by constant injustice and sin, his own or the world's, there was no stronger need than to find a holy shrine or a saint to prostrate himself before and to worship. | russian saint soul worship | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| a9650a9 | Am vazut nenumarati oameni carora e destul sa le torni o galeata de apa rece in cap, ca sa-si renege nu numai faptele, dar si ideile, care sunt gata sa rada primii de ceea ce socoteau sfant cu un ceas inainte! Si cand te gandesti cu cata usurinta se leapada de orice! | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| a593664 | how an intention becomes reality, how theory is enfleshed, how abstract reasoning ends in a sensitive, compassionate man slipping in 'sticky, warm blood'. What state of mind is needed for this to happen? Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) responded to this quandary in his late essay 'Why Do People Stupefy Themselves?' (1890), where he sought to explain the state of mental automatism in which Raskolnikov carried out his crime. But Tolstoy, an aggressiv.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 428a54c | Ahora o nos horrorizamos o fingimos que nos horrorizamos mientras saboreamos el espectaculo como amantes de las emociones fuertes, extravagantes, que animan nuestro ocio cinico e indolente; o como ninos pequenos espantamos con las manos a los fantasmas terribles y escondemos la cabeza en la almohada hasta que pase la terrible vision, para poco despues olvidarla entre diversiones y juegos.

| 9fb819b | I was cursing and swearing at you because of that address, I hated you already because of the lies I had told you. Because I only like playing with words, only dreaming, but, do you know, what I really want is that you should all go to hell. That is what I want. I want peace; yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea?

| 5e49644 | everything was going in regular caravans to the summer villas. It seemed as though Petersburg threatened to become a wilderness, so that at last I felt ashamed, mortified and sad that I had nowhere to go for the holidays and no reason to go away. I was ready to go away with every waggon, to drive off with every gentleman of respectable appearance who took a cab; but no one--absolutely no one--invited me | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||

| 0d58bee | Even at sixteen I wondered at them morosely; even then I was struck by the pettiness of their thoughts, the stupidity of their pursuits, their games, their conversations. They had no understanding of such essential things, they took no interest in such striking, impressive subjects, that I could not help considering them inferior to myself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
