Leonid Afremov Art
It sometimes happened that you might be familiar with a person for several
years thinking he or she was a wild animal, and you would regard that
person with contempt. And then suddenly a moment would arrive when
some uncontrollable impulse would lay his or her soul bare, and you would
behold in it such riches, such sensitivity and warmth, such a vivid awareness
of its own suffering and the suffering of others, that the scales would fall
from your eyes and at first you would hardly be able to believe
what you had seen and heard.The reverse also happens.
Fyodor Dostoevsky,The House of the Dead
