Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes

Twice two makes four seems to me simply a piece of insolence. Twice two makes four is a pert coxcomb who stands with arms akimbo barring your path and spitting. I admit that twice two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

You can find virtually everybody black back as far as the 1870 census. Why 1870? That's when the ex-slaves first have surnames.

Henry Louis Gates
