"I have taken to celebrating the anniversaries of my sensations, the anniversary of something that was delightful at one time, of something that actually never occurred. I am reduced to celebrating anniversaries because I no longer have anything with which to replace even those silly, flimsy dreams. For dreams… have to be renewed too"
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s White Nights (via tealrallythong)
"Yet everyone tries to look more forbidding than he really is, as though afraid it would be an insult to his feelings if they were displayed too soon."
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky , White Nights (via tra-ff-ic)
