"Begitu ada orang di dekat saya, kepribadiannya mengganggu kepuasan diri saya dan membatasi kebebasan saya. Dalam dua puluh empat jam saya mulai membenci pria terbaik: satu karena dia terlalu lama makan malam; lain karena dia pilek dan terus meniup hidungnya. Saya menjadi memusuhi orang-orang saat mereka mendekati saya. Tetapi selalu terjadi bahwa semakin saya membenci pria secara individu semakin bersemangat cinta saya pada kemanusiaan."

--- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Versi Bahasa Inggris

As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
