Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes, Peace Quotes, Long Quotes

I want peace; yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea. Did you know that, or not? Well, anyway, I know that I am a blackguard, a scoundrel, an egoist, a sluggard.

But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away.
