More From Fyodor Dostoevsky

I played the organ when i went to military school, when i was 10. they had a huge organ, the second-largest pipe organ in new york state. i loved all the buttons and the gadgets. i've always been a gadget man.

God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.

The famous pipe. how people reproached me for it! and yet, could you stuff my pipe? no, it's just a representation, is it not? so if i had written on my picture “this is a pipe”, i'd have been lying!

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice... man has to be a man-by choice; he has to hold his life as a value-by choice; he has to learn to sustain it-by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues by choice. a code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

It is in the twenties that the actual momentum of life begins to slacken, and it is a simple soul indeed to whom as many things are as significant and meaningful at thirty as at ten years before. at thirty an organ-grinder is a more or less a moth eaten man who grinds an organ - and once he was an organ-grinder! the unmistakable stigma of humanity touches all those impersonal and beautiful things that only youth ever grasps in their impersonal glory.
