been reading a lot of literature lately, fiction actually, from the likes of gaiman, clancy, ludlum, grisham & puzo....just finsihed reading the novel of mario puzo entitled "FOOLS DIE" yesterday and i found a very interseting paragraph.....

"I suffer, but still I don't live. I am an X in an indeterminate equation. I am a sort of phantom in life who has lost all beginning and end"

according to the text this line was taken from Dostoevsky. based on the surname i surmise that this writer is of Russian descent and was regarded as one of the eminent big wigs in literature back then. the exercept seems ambigiuous but its really striking.
