Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes

At home, I mainly used to read. I wished to stifle with external sensations all that was ceaselessly boiling up inside me. And among external sensations the only one possible for me was reading. Reading was, of course, a great help. It stirred, delighted, and tormented me.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Italo Calvino
