"To have spent my life holding my hands in tightly hidden fists. To try to understand what it would mean, now, to hold them open. I have always felt ashamed at being witnessed in the act of wanting something I could not have."

"We each decide whether to make ourselves learned or ignorant, compassionate or cruel, generous or miserly. No one forces us. No one decides for us, no one drags us along one path or the other. We are responsible for what we are."

"The vibration of Spirit is at such an infinite rate of intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest — just as a rapidly moving wheel seems to be motionless.“

"Surrounded by hordes of people, busy with all sorts of secular matters, more and more shrewd about the ways of the world – such a person forgets himself, forgets his name divinely understood, does not dare to believe in himself, finds it too risky to be himself, far easier and safer to be like the others, to become a copy, a number, part of the crowd."

"You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it. Doesn’t it sound lovely beyond belief?"

“How frustrated we get with the ones we love. We shove our hopes and thoughts down their throats hoping they swallow our passion. The unnecessary traction creates friction and fire, the perfect contradiction to the passion we desire.”

"Of all our feelings the only one which really doesn't belong to us is hope. Hope belongs to life, it's life itself defending itself."

"For evolutionary reasons, man is adapted to a certain amount of conflict and suffering. If, as a result of great wealth, a person obtains everything he feels about with a desire and craves, then he will possess boredom and despair after that."

“Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time.”

"If a man has his eyes bound you can encourage him as much as you like to stare through the bandage, but he'll never see anything."

"Always having what we want may not be the best good fortune. Health seems sweetest after sickness, food in hunger, goodness in the wake of evil, and at the end of daylong labor sleep."

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”

▪︎Fyodor Dostoyevsky
