Ivan Goncharov Quotes

I Desire Nothing, Seek Nothing But Peace, The Slumber Of The Soul. I Have Tasted All The Hollowness And Wretchedness Of Life And I Despise It Heartily. Whoever Has Lived And Thought Cannot But, In His Soul, Despise Humanity. Activity, Cares, Worries, Distractions - I Am Sick Of Them All. I Wish For Nothing, I Seek Nothing. I Have No Aim, For One Gains That Which One Is Eager For - And Sees That It Is All Illusion. My Joyous Days Have Passed. I Have Cooled To Them. In The Educated World, Amidst Human Beings, I Feel The Disadvantages Of Life Too Strongly, But Alone, Far From The Crowd, I Turn To Stone. In This Trance Anything Can Happen, I See Neither Others Nor Myself. I Do Nothing And Do Not Notice The Actions Either Of Others Or Myself - And I Am At Peace, I Am Indifferent. There Can Be No Happiness For Me, And I Will Not Succumb To Unhappiness.
