Quotes

  • Nikolai C.has quoted5 years ago
    Accordingly, the death of young men seems to me like putting out a great fire with a deluge of water; but old men die like a fire going out because it has burnt down of its own nature without artificial means
  • Nikolai C.has quoted5 years ago

  • Nikolai C.has quoted5 years ago
