Character: Pyotr Petrovich Gasilov

Human life is a moment. Unfortunately, we understand this truth when we are over fifty. But we just understand, nothing more. Well, look, look for at least one person who, having understood that life is a moment, would stop in his fuss. I would stop acquiring land there, slaves, fighting with the neighboring prince. No, you will not find such a person. There is no one on earth... Man is weak, weak to understand all the frailty of being - to stop in his fuss.
