Quotes from the same author

If there is no sarcasm, there's no true love towards the mankind
 Dmitry Pisarev
But what is to be done? Is it possible to infect ourselves on purpose just in order to have the satisfaction of dying beautifully and tranquilly? No! What is to be done? We must live while we are alive, eat dry bread if there is no roast beef, know many women if it is not possible to love a woman, and, in general, we must not dream about orange trees and palms, when under foot are snowdrifts and the cold tundra.
 Dmitry Pisarev
So easily do weak men put in high positions turn villains.
