I do not wish you much happiness—it will bore you. I do not wish you trouble either, but, following the philosophy of the peasant, I will repeat simply 'live more' and try not to be much bored; this useless wish I add from myself. Well, good-bye, and good-bye for good. Don't stand at my door, I will not open it.
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons (The Devils or The Possessed), 1872

Live more. That makes a lot of sense.
Been putting this book off for a while. Now I think I'm going to read it next. Nice blog.
