I may say that the proprietor of the hell has been there this morning, and to avoid trouble he has consented to close his place for good. I have only to remark that I should advise you, gentlemen, in future, only to indulge in gambling in places where you may be fairly assured of the character of the men you play with.

"I've always been surprised at every one's going on living," said Kirillov, not hearing his remark. "H'm! Admitting that's an idea, but..." "You ape, you assent to get the better of me. Hold your tongue; you won't understand anything. If there is no God, then I am God." "There, I could never understand that point of yours: why are you God?"
