Dostoevsky quote

[Svetlana Grenier]

Thanks to all those who responded to my question!. For those curious, these words are found in vol 23 of PSS, pp. 324-25 (varianty chernovogo avtografa of Dnevnik pisatelia for October 1876 (Dva samoubiistva).

> "a thinker and a poet [Herzen], . . . could not have passed on to this suicide anything. . . of his passionate love of life, that life which he so treasured, valued so highly, and in which he so deeply believed. . . . Of course, she did not have her deceased father's convictions, his aspirations and his faith in them, otherwise she would not have destroyed herself.  It is unthinkable even to imagine that so passionate a believer as Herzen could have killed himself."
