If there is one honest man to nine rogues, no one is any better, and the ine goes to the wall- it is the majority that is right.....

If God sees everything and knows everything, then He sees me too....

Not a hair falls from the head of a man except by the will of God...

Men are not my judges, what sort of judge would they be... I know no men without sin, not one. I'll wait

"God is my witness, I sinned to save my soul. I must be dearer to Him if I don't end my life in this filth, but struggle through it and lead a clean life. Then I will entreat His forgiveness. I will not endure this torment all my life; they have soiled me with mud and filth; all my tears will never wash me clean."

Love is a disease that is easily cured...

Why was life given to me? Guess that riddle...

"To endure this life, a man needs an iron body and an iron heart, and he must live like all the rest, without thinking, without conscience."

Once the heart is wounded, it never ceases to feel pain."

"A moment ago I felt full of courage, light, and happy, and now it's all gone again. Why does life drive a man on and on against his will, where he has no desire to go? Everything in life is so oppressive and heavy, full of injustice, full of perplexity! Perhaps Jakov is right--men must first of all understand themselves, how they live and by what laws?"

"I know--it's impossible to help.--How could I be helped? Who is there? We're alone in life, brother; our lot is settled--work, suffer, be silent--and then go out. Devil take you!"

"A man who can show his teeth has always an advantage over the rest. A man who bears blows silently gets beaten to his grave by the stupid people."
