The House of the Dead
Fyodor Dostoevsky
“In what will one not give for freedom? What millionaire his throat squeezed by a noose would not give all his millions for one breath of air?”
I am sorry, what? The philosophical implications of the rich trying to prolong their life because they are so saddled with money that they think it can transcend dead in two simple questions. As my dad always says you can’t take it with you.
I don’t even know if Fyodor Dostoevsky was trying to say that in that quote, but that’s what I got out of it.
