Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev
Russian Novelist, Short-Story Writer
"Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it."
"I agree with no man's opinion...The courage to believe in nothing. "
"I believe that love produces a certain flowering of the whole personality which nothing else can achieve."
"Nature cares nothing for logic, our human logic: she has her own, which we do not recognize and do not acknowledge until we are crushed under its wheel."
