About Me


"IT is a somewhat Karamazovian feature, to be sure, this thirst for life in spite of everything, and it also without question dwells in you - but why is it base? There's still an awful lot of centripetal force left on out planet, Alyosha. Life wants to be lived, and i live it, even though it goes against logic. Very well, so i don't believe in the order of things, but the sticky leaf-buds that open in spring are dear to me, as is the blue sky, as are certain people whom, would you believe it, sometimes one loves one knows not why, and as are certain human achievements in which one may perhaps have ceased to have any faith, but which for old time's sake one treasures in one's heart."
- Dostoyevsky
" MISERY is manifold. The wretchedness of earth is multiform. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow, its hues are as various as the hues of that arch — as distinct too, yet as intimately blended. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow! How is it that from beauty I have derived a type of unloveliness? — from the covenant of peace, a simile of sorrow? But as, in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born. Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of to-day, or the agonies which are, have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been . "
-Poe
