Fyodor Dostoyevsky Quotes
He Had Come To Us Only Three Years Earlier, But Had Already Won General Sympathy, Mainly Because He "knew How To Bring Society Together." His House Was Never Without Guests, And It Seemed He Would Have Been Unable To Live Without Them. He Had To Have Guests To Dinner Every Day, Even If Only Two, Even If Only One, But Without Guests He Would Not Sit Down To Eat. He Gave Formal Dinners, Too, Under All Sorts Of Pretexts, Sometimes Even The Most Unexpected. The Food He Served, Though Not Refined, Was Abundant, The Cabbage Pies Were Excellent, And The Wines Made Up In Quantity For What They Lacked In Quality. In The Front Room Stood A Billiard Table, Surrounded By Quite Decent Furnishings; That Is, There Were Even Paintings Of English Racehorses In Black Frames On The Walls, Which, As Everyone Knows, Constitute A Necessary Adornment Of Any Billiard Room In A Bachelor's House.
