Nikolai Gogol

“It is true that we are never so filled with pity as at the sight of beauty touched by the pestilential breath of depravity. Let ugliness join hands with it, but beauty, beauty is delicate...It mingles in our thoughts only with what is pure and clean.”

Nikolai Gogol, Nevsky Prospect
