By God, the point of the thing is not in this property, which can be confiscated, but in that which no one can steal and carry off! ... Forget this noisy world and all its seductive fancies; let it forget you, too. There is no peace in it. You see: everything in it is either an enemy, a tempter, or a traitor.
-Nikolai Gogol
