quote from an old notebook

Jun 22, 2007 15:55

"He never clearly grasped how much weight attaches to a good, true, and pure word thrown into the torrent of human speeches and how profoundly it alters its course...
"Many people stop short before uttering a good word, flushing bright red with shame, while they utter a frivolous one boldly and aloud..."

Ivan Goncharov, Oblomov
