Tranquillity is a Sip Away
Severus Snape's miraculous invention will protect you from blabbering dunderheads and inane small talk. Just a sip will create a protective barrier around the drinker, making people forget why they even wanted to bore, er, approach you.
Secret Santa gift for @quite-unbalanced ♥️ But I also felt it was fitting for his birthday
"...the only psychologist from whom I have anything to learn." - Nietzsche
"Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss." - Albert Einstein
"So great is the worth of Dostoevsky that to have produced him is by itself sufficient justification for the existence of the Russian people in the world: and he will bear witness for his country-men at the last judgement of the nations." - Nikolay Berdyaev
"...a prophet of God," and "mystical seer." - Vladimir Solvyov
"He lived in literature." - Konstantin Mochulsky
"Russia's evil genius" - Maxim Gorky
"...the Shakespeare of the lunatic asylum" - Count Melchoir de Vogue
"...an author whose Christian sympathy is ordinarily devoted to human misery, sin, vice, the depths of lust and crime, rather than to nobility of body and soul" - Thomas Mann
"Dostoevsky was human in that 'all too human' sense of Nietzsche. He wrings our withers when he unrolls his scroll of life." -Henry Miller
"He who gets nearer the sun is leader, the aristocrat of aristocrats, or he who, like Dostoevsky, gets nearest the moon of our non-being." - D. H. Lawrence
"Dostoyevsky wrote of the unconscious as if it were conscious; that is in reality the reason why his characters seem 'pathological', while they are only visualized more clearly than any other figures in imaginative literature... He was in the rank in which we set Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe." - Edwin Muir
“I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.”
— Leonard Cohen
