Author of quotes: Max Scheler

No literature is so full of resentment as young Russian literature. The books of Dostoevsky, Gogol, Tolstoy are simply teeming with heroes charged with resentment. This state of affairs is a consequence of centuries of oppression of the people by the autocracy and the impossibility, due to the absence of a parliament and freedom of the press, to give vent to the feelings that arise under the pressure of authority.
