All wealth, all glory – it is all vanity vanity; and the saber, and the mace with a bundle, and the ermine cuirae will one day lie beside the dead bones.
And it's true that when you're with the one you love, the day will pass by like an hour.
— Panteleimon Kulish

The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.

And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
—Fyodor Dostoevsky
