Notes From Underground Quotes

Man is fond of reckoning his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Notes From Underground Quotes)

Man is fond of reckoning his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.[Человек только свое горе любит считать, а счастья своего не считает. А счел бы как должно, так и увидел бы, что на всякую долю его запасено.]
