"He had two lives: one, open, seen and known by all who cared to know, full of relative truth and of relative falsehood, exactly like the lives of his friends and acquaintances; and another life running its course in secret. And through some strange, perhaps accidental, conjunction of circumstances, everything that was essential, of interest and of value to him, everything in which he was sincere and did not deceive himself, everything that made the kernel of his life, was hidden from other people."

Society
"Why are we worn out? Why do we, who start out so passionate, brave, noble, believing, become totally bankrupt by the age of thirty or thirty-five?

Why is it that, once fallen, we do not try to rise, and, having lost one thing, we do not seek another? Why?"

I want to be walking along the Nevsky Prospect, or in the open fields, or on the ocean - wherever my imagination ranges."
