“There’s the pendulum ticking, it doesn’t care, it doesn’t feel sorry for anyone.” 

The Meek One, Fyodor Dostoyevsky (b. 11 Nov 1821)

“I'm a master at speaking silently, all my life I've spoken silently and I've lived through entire tragedies in silence.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Meek One.

“They say that the sun gives life to the universe. The sun will rise and - look at it, isn’t it dead? Everything is dead, the dead are everywhere. There are only people, and all around them is silence - that’s the earth. “People love one another” - who said that? Whose commandment is that? The pendulum ticks insensibly, disgustingly. It’s two o'clock in the morning.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “The Meek One”
