I saw this on a lofi channel I listen to
I did not explained it point for point because then the quote would be too long. There are many questions i asked to my self and i know that i will see some of these as an response.
I dont actually remember the full thing, it began with something like "I think one day I will be with you--" "I think I will be joining you soon--" "I think that if I reach out I can--" It had something to do with bodies I believe? I recall a (decently known or well known) rapper/singer wore it on their shirt, it was in black text and a white shirt It recently popped back into my head, i dont remember it. I just REALLY want to find it. I'm aware its a horrible description of what it could even start with, please just spitball to me what you think it could maybe be since my details could be wrong
Russian literature is renowned for its profound insights into the human condition. Here are some iconic quotes:
Tolstoy
"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." - Anna Karenina "The only thing that I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I was inclined to be a writer." - A Confession
Dostoevsky
"The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for." - The Brothers Karamazov "Beauty will save the world." - The Idiot
Chekhov
"Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice." - The Lady with the Dog "Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out." - The Seagull
Gogol
"It's no advantage to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth if you're going to spend your whole life sucking on it." - Dead Souls "There is no tragedy in being unhappy; the tragedy lies in being unwilling to change."
Vladimir Nabokov: "The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible." - Speak, Memory Boris Pasternak: "No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing." - Doctor Zhivago Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "You should never be ashamed of your family, because they are your blood." - One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
The one that I found absolutely amusing Maxim Gorky "One has to be a God to forgive what you have done"- The lower depths
Maybe someone can help me with this. I've tried googling and Wikiquotes, but no luck.
I'm trying to find a specific quote that I came across once in the past. The author was saying basically that nothing is more unnatural than our conception of a thing called "nature"
