  • Don’t you know that you are all my life to me? ...But peace I do not know, and can’t give to you. My whole being, my love...yes! I cannot think about you and about myself separately.

I see the possibility of despair, misfortune...or of happiness-what happiness!...Is it impossible?" Vronksy

  • School is established, not in order that it should be convenient for the children to study, but that teachers should be able to teach in comfort.
