“Lebedev: ...There'll be a scandal, the tongues of the whole district will buzz with gossip, but it's better to go through a scandal, isn't it, than to destroy yourself for your whole life.”
“You mean he came to your school? The scandalous rodent-loaf!”
“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.”
“Everything's a scandal. Dying's a scandal. But we all do it.”
“You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.”
