Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes
What tender and devoted mother wouldn't be dismayed and ill with terror at her son's or daughter's stepping even one hair's breath off the beaten track.

The only person among us who can fail to reach the general's rank is the original man - in other words, the man who won't be quiet.
