Quotes 

• Ivan Ilyitch Cherdyakhov : I must go back and tell him what I think of him. The world must be safe so that men of all nations and creeds, regardless of color or religion, will be free to sneeze on their superiors! It is he who will be humiliated by I!

• Ivan Ilyitch Cherdyakhov : What is it? What is it, you ask? You sit there behind your desk and ask what is it? You sit there, in your lofty position as general, and minister of public parks, a member of high standing among the upper class, and ask what is it? You sit there with full knowledge that in this life, there is no equality; that there are those who serve, and those that are served; those who obey, and those that are obeyed; those who bow, and those that are bowed to; that in this life, certain events take place that cause some people to be humiliated, and there are those who are the cause of that humiliation. And still, you ask what is it?
