ayoubBeauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.
Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.
We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.
~ Fyodor Dostoevsky
That last one is so much me... I do that all the time... :D

Date: 2006-05-25 11:35 am (UTC)All those Russian writers famous in western world seem to me so incomplete...Those that counts (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov)...I wish you could read others!

Date: 2006-05-25 12:53 pm (UTC)I mean the quotations are good and actually very popular in Russia, too (and they are counted as just regular phrases eveyone has to know)...But the Dostoevsky is the most famous one in your world...So strange...So interesting...Why?

Here's the last stanza of a poem I wrote the last time I connected with someone so damn thoroughly on first (net) sight. Sums up a lot of how I feel about meeting rad new folks. ^_^
Here's to comrades, old and new
instant connectivity and geek speak
electrified synapses snapping
and judgements put on hold.
