““And the man who seeks salvation in change of place like a migrating bird would find nothing anywhere, for all the world is alike to him.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“In his conversations with Anna Sergeyevna he expressed more strongly than ever his calm indifference to any kind of "romanticism"; but when he was alone he indignantly recognized romanticism in himself. ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“. But each one is a gamble of Nature, a hopeful attempt at forming a human being. We all have a common origin, the Mothers, we all come out of the same abyss; but each of us, a trial throw of the dice from the depths, strives toward his own goal.”

The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“To ordain the future in advance in this way, man must first have learned to distinguish necessary events from chance ones, to think causally, to see and anticipate distant eventualities as if they belonged to the present, to decide with certainty what is the goal and what the means to it, and in general be able to calculate and compute.”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
