Oh! Nastenka! It will be sad, you know, to be left alone, quite alone, and not even have something to regret- nothing, absoluetly nothing......because all that I have lost, all this, it was nothing, absolutely nothing, a stupid, round zero- it was merely a dream! -Dostoyevsky, White Nights, pg. no 39 I didn't come across … Continue reading Why Read White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky?
