“Here my tears are falling, Nastenka. Let them flow, let them flow - they don't hurt anybody. They will dry Nastenka.”
“Let the leaves flow through the gentle stream, let them illustrate the beauty of their own.”
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
“At first it was simply liking, Nastenka, but now, now !I am just in the same position as you were when you went to him with your bundle. In a worse position than you, Nastenka,because he cared for no one else as you do.”
“Your hand is cold, mine burns like fire. How blind you are, Nastenka!”
“Is it better to go with the flow or let the flow go?”
