Fyodor Dostoyevsky Quotes

And What Did I See? I Saw People Who Are Elegant, Open-hearted, Intelligent; I Saw An Elder Statesman Who Was Kind And Attentive To A Boy Like Me; I Saw People Who Are Capable Of Understanding And Forgiving, Good-natured Russian People, Almost As Good-natured And Warm-hearted As Those Whom I Met Back There, Almost As Good As Them. So You May Imagine How Happily I Was Surprised! Oh, Permit Me To Say This! I Had Heard A Great Deal And Was Very Much Of The Conviction That In Society All Is Style, All Is Decrepit Formality, While The Essence Has Dried Up; But I Mean, Now I Can See For Myself That It Cannot Be So In Our Country; It May Be Like That In Other Countries, But Not In Ours.
