"There was not a speck of dust to be seen in the whole flat.  "It's in the houses of spiteful old widows that one finds such cleanliness," Raskolnikov thought."

"And I am glad, I am glad that, though only in imagination, she should think of herself as having once been happy...."

"To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's."

--from Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
